More quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
Venice is beautiful, but like a Bergman movie is beautiful you can admire it, but you don't really want to live in it.
Elizabeth Gilbert
There is hardly a more gracious gift that we can offer somebody than to accept them fully, to love them almost despite themselves.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Nobody's really paying that much attention to your massive personal dramas.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Depression on my left, Loneliness on my right. They don't need to show me thier badges. I know these guys very well.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Everything really is going to be okay. (And if not okay, then at least comic.)
Elizabeth Gilbert
You are here and you are allowed to be here and therefore you are allowed to make decisions about yourself and the people in your life rather than sort of backing up and making sure it's okay with everybody at every turn.
Elizabeth Gilbert
The resting place of the mind is the heart. The only thing the mind hears all day is clanging bells and noise and argument, and all it wants is quietude. The only place the mind will ever find peace is inside the silence of the heart. That's where you need to go.
Elizabeth Gilbert
When I diagnose my depression now, I think it was partially about saying goodbye to these kids that I always expected to have but already knew that I wouldn't.
Elizabeth Gilbert
As I got older, I discovered that nothing within me cried out for a baby. My womb did not seem to have come equipped with that famously ticking clock. Unlike so many of my friends, I did not ache with longing whenever I saw an infant. (Though I did ache with longing, it is true, whenever I saw a good used-book shop)
Elizabeth Gilbert
What are you willing to give up, in order to become who you really need to be?
Elizabeth Gilbert
a woman's place is in the kitchen...sitting in a comfortable chair, with her feet up, drinking a glass of wine and watching her husband cook dinner.
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
A fish and a bird may indeed fall in love, but where shall they live?
Elizabeth Gilbert
There are times when the only access I have to the truest person that I am is when I'm alone and trying to solve a sentence. It's exciting, even when it's frustrating, even when I can't do it right.
Elizabeth Gilbert
I'm choosing happiness over suffering, I know I am. I'm making space for the unknown future to fill up my life with yet-to-come surprises.
Elizabeth Gilbert
If I'm being forgiving of myself, I could say I'm somebody who was really hungry for experiences. The same thing that would make me go try to be a trail cook on a ranch was the same thing that would make me want to have sex with a couple cowboys while I was there.
Elizabeth Gilbert
My mom is a master gardener and I grew up on a farm. I came back to it really late in life and discovered that despite how lazy and inattentive I was as a child, I had managed to accidentally learn quite a bit about gardening.
Elizabeth Gilbert
The beauty and variety of the natural world are merely the visible legacies of endless war.
Elizabeth Gilbert
He endeared himself to me forever the first night we met, when I was getting frustrated with my inability to find the words I wanted in Italian, and he put his hand on my arm and said, Liz, you must be very polite with yourself when you are learning something new.
Elizabeth Gilbert
I will not harbor unhealthy thoughts anymore.
