Elizabeth Gilbert Quotes

Deep grief sometimes is almost like a specific location, a coordinate on a map of time. When you are standing in that forest of sorrow, you cannot imagine that you could ever find your way to a better place. But if someone can assure you that they themselves have stood in that same place, and now have moved on, sometimes this will bring hope Picture Quote #1

Depression on my left, Loneliness on my right. They don’t need to show me thier badges. I know these guys very well Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I felt like I was some kind of primitive spring-loaded machine, placed under far more tension than it had ever been built to sustain, about to blast apart at great danger to anyone standing nearby. I imagined my body parts flying off my torso in order to escape the volcanic core of unhappiness that had become: me Picture Quote #1

I’m so excited about school. I’m such a shameless student. I laid my clothes out last night, just like I did before my first day of first grade, with my patent leather shoes and my new lunch box. I hope the teacher will like me :) Picture Quote #1

Traveling-to-a-place energy and living-in-a-place energy are two fundamentally different energies Picture Quote #1

The day is ending. It’s time for something that was beautiful to turn into something else that is beautiful. Now, Let go Picture Quote #1

It used to be that God was revealed in the wonders of nature; now God was being challenged by those same wonders. Scholars were now required to choose one side or the other Picture Quote #1

To be prosperous and happy in life, Henry, it is simple. Pick one woman, pick it well, and surrender Picture Quote #1

To devote yourself to the creation and enjoyment of beauty, then, can be a serious business-not always necessarily a means of escaping reality, but sometimes a means of holding on to the real when everything is flaking away into... rhetoric and plot Picture Quote #1

My whole life I’ve been an over-giver. My general operating policy has always been, ‘If it belongs to me, don’t worry: You can have it!’ Picture Quote #1

I believe in miracles, I believe in the Law of Attraction, but even I don’t think I’m big enough to manifest five Asian elephants cloaked in gold Picture Quote #1

Take care of the problems now, or else you’ll just have to suffer again later when you scew everything up the next time. And that repetition of suffering - that’s hell. Moving out of that endless repetition to a new level of understand - there’s where you’ll find heaven Picture Quote #1

Writing is not like dancing or modeling; it’s not something where-if you missed it by age 19-you’re finished. It’s never too late. Your writing will only get better as you get older and wiser. If you write something beautiful and important, and the right person somehow discovers it, they will clear room for you on the bookshelves of the world-at any age. At least try Picture Quote #1

I don’t hate humanity and I’m not interested in people who do. Although, it’s funny, actually, some of my favorite writers really do. Like Martin Amis. My dirty secret. ‘London Fields’ is one of my favorite books ever. And it’s indefensible! But he’s so funny... I forgive him everything Picture Quote #1

It’s what I call the haute couture, high-end version of fear perfectionism. It’s just fear in really good shoes. But it’s still fear Picture Quote #1

When you write a novel, there’s a level at which you are much more revealing about who you are because you’re less self-conscious about how you’re presenting yourself. You are accidentally leaving your DNA all over everything in a novel because it’s all coming from you Picture Quote #1

I feel like all this stuff that we make: books and art and music, all of it. There’s this energy that circles the world that wants to be made manifest, and it is just looking for someone to come through. And it’s dying for you to make it. And if you don’t do it, it will go find somebody else Picture Quote #1

I was a bartender for a long time, so I know how to make drinks, but I’m more likely to offer them than to have them. I think this is one of the reasons why I get to live longer than my great-grandmother did, and why I get to produce more writing than she did, and why my marriage isn’t in dire straits Picture Quote #1

The fantasy of the wedding day is that it represents undeniable public and private truth that you have been chosen. For that one day, you are the most valuable creature in the world - a treasure, a princess, a prize Picture Quote #1

What I object to is the hyper-fetishized wedding day, the prioritizing of wedding over marriage. I have a real problem with couples spending far more time discussing the seating arrangement or the color of the bridesmaid’s gowns than hashing out, for instance, their feelings about how they intend to handle questions of housework, child-rearing, finances and fidelity for the next four or five decades Picture Quote #1

It seems obvious that there comes period in your life when you have to learn to say no to things you don’t want to do. But the biggest trickiest lesson in holding on the stalwart committment to your creativity is learning how to say no to the things you do want to do Picture Quote #1

You have to get hurt. That’s how you learn. The strongest people out there, the ones who laugh the hardest with a genuine smile, those are the people who have fought the toughest battles. Because they’ve decided that they’re not going to let anything hold them down, they’re showing the world who’s boss. One must always be prepared for riotous and endless waves of transformation Picture Quote #1

The emotional place where a marriage begins is not nearly as important as the emotional place where a marriage finds itself toward the end, after many years of partnership Picture Quote #1

There is hardly a more gracious gift that we can offer somebody than to accept them fully, to love them almost despite themselves Picture Quote #1

I love my friends and family, but I also love it when they can’t find me and I can spend all day reading or walking all alone, in silence, eight thousand miles away from everyone. All alone and unreachable in a foreign country is one my most favorite possible things to be Picture Quote #1

There’s always another level up. There’s always another ascension. More grace, more light, more generosity, more compassion, more to shed, more to grow Picture Quote #1

The search for contentment is, therefore, not merely a self-preserving and self-benefiting act, but also a generous gift to the world. You cease being an obstacle, not only to yourself but to anyone else. Only then are you free to serve and enjoy other people Picture Quote #1

I was the baby of the family, but I was never babied, and that allowed me to take whatever artistic temperament I had and apply learned discipline. I was taught how to work. I think that’s everything. Creativity and imagination alone are not going to get you there Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
