More quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
This is what intimacy does to us over time. That's what a long marriage can do: It causes us to inherit and trade each other's stories. (p.237)
Elizabeth Gilbert
Dear Lord, please show me everything I need to understand about forgiveness and surrender
Elizabeth Gilbert
I have good idea, for if you meet some person from different religion and he want to make argument about God. My idea is, you listen to everything this man say about God. Never argue about God with him. Best thing to say is, 'I agree with you.' Then you go home, pray what you want. This is my idea for people to have peace about religion.
Elizabeth Gilbert
I myself have never been enchanted by the dream of the white wedding, and, heaven help us, the expectation that this exquisitely catered event should be 'the happiest moment' of one's life.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Faith is belief in what you cannot see or prove or touch. Faith is walking face-first and full-speed into the dark.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Richard didn't even have time to ask if I thought I'd ever amount to anything in this life before I looked him eye to eye and said, I already have, mister.
Elizabeth Gilbert
There is no choice more intensely personal, after all, than whom you choose to marry that choice tells us, to a large extent, who you are.
Elizabeth Gilbert
It has never been easy for me to understand why people work so hard to create something beautiful, but then refuse to share it with anyone, for fear of criticism.
Elizabeth Gilbert
As somebody who, in my second marriage, insisted on a prenuptial agreement, I can also testify that sometimes it is an act of love to chart the exit strategy before you enter the union, in order to make sure that not only you, but your partner as well, knows that there will be no World War III should hearts and minds, for any sad reason, change.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Marriage becomes hard work once you have poured the entirety of your life’s expectations for happiness into the hands of one mere person. Keeping that going is hard work.
Elizabeth Gilbert
he was still my romantic hero and I was still his living dream
Elizabeth Gilbert
Your fear is just as boring as mine is. Everyone's got the same one. It is not precious. It is not special. It is not singular to you. It's just the one we all got wired with when we came in. Focus on your unique qualities that deserve to be celebrated and put fear back in its place. Don't listen to it. Onward.
Elizabeth Gilbert
When the karma of a relationship is done, only love remains. It's safe. Let go.
Elizabeth Gilbert
I've been screwed and sued and tattooed, and I'm still standin' here in front of you.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Nobody's really paying that much attention to your massive personal dramas.
Elizabeth Gilbert
In a world of disorder and disaster and fraud, sometimes only beauty can be trusted. Only artistic excellence is incorruptible. Pleasure cannot be bargained down. And sometimes the meal is the only currency that is real.
Elizabeth Gilbert
When it comes to women, get your life together first. Put on your own oxygen mask first. Figure out who you are. Mature. And then go find somebody to share that life with.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Take me someplace where we can be silent together.
Elizabeth Gilbert
The world is like a dropped pie most of the time. Don't kill yourself trying to put it back together. Just grab a fork and eat some of it off the floor. Then carry on.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Watch for the people whose eyes light up when you talk about your dream. Those are the people you keep.
Elizabeth Gilbert
