More quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
There's this great kind of spooky dance that happens that I can't access any other way. I think most of us are given kind of one pathway to that dance, and that's why I'm a writer. It's the only way I can get there. I can't do it through art, I can't do it through singing, I can't do it through mothering, I can't do it through invention.
Elizabeth Gilbert
The inability to open up to hope is what blocks trust, and blocked trust is the reason for blighted dreams.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Change is all about motion, motion is all about uncertainty and we are deeply uncomfortable with uncertainty.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Marriage is not a game for the young.

Elizabeth Gilbert
The mosquitoes here are big enough to rape a chicken.
Elizabeth Gilbert
I'm afraid many women do choose the wedding over the marriage. It seems a steep price to pay, but it comes from a place of deep, sad longing to be loved and to have it proven that you are of value.
Elizabeth Gilbert
As a writer, you always read in two minds: You read as a reader and you enjoy it, and you look at it as a writer, and you just admire the architecture and the construction.
Elizabeth Gilbert
When you're lost in those woods, it sometimes takes you a while to realize that you are lost.
Elizabeth Gilbert
I will give you the sun and the rain, and if they are not available, I will give you a sun check and a rain check.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Now imagine a life in which every day a person is presented with not two or even three but dozens of choices, and you can begin to grasp why the modern world has become, even with all its advantages, a neurosis-generating machine of the highest order.
Elizabeth Gilbert
The reality, certainly in my life, is that we all have love stories that go terribly wrong we all have horribly broken hearts. And somehow we endure. We're not destroyed by it.
Elizabeth Gilbert
you must stop looking at the world through your head. You must look through your heart, instead.
Elizabeth Gilbert
