Elizabeth Gilbert Quotes

Mistakes will be made. Failure will occur. You pick yourself up and carry on Picture Quote #1

Listen - of course money changes everything, but so does sunlight, and so does food: These are powerful but neutral energy sources, neither inherently good nor evil but shaped only by the way we use them Picture Quote #1

I know I'm not a self-indulgent idiot; I also know I'm not the second coming of Deepak Chopra. If I had believed either of those, or both, as some people do when they get famous, that's when the mental illness arrives Picture Quote #1

I think that people who live in cultures without quite so much privilege, opportunity or grandiosity have a little bit more respect for the workings of destiny, and the limitations that people can find themselves in through no fault of their own Picture Quote #1

Men go into marriage with virtually no expectations whatsoever. Ten years later, the men are delightfully surprised to find out that it's actually kind of nice, and the women have sort of had to take a nose dive from what they thought it was going to be Picture Quote #1

My career started young and I was really ambitious, and then I had success and I hung out with people who were much older. I think I might have been temporally misplaced, so I thought I was 40. It was a premature midlife crisis Picture Quote #1

Marriage is not simply a romantic union between two people; it's also a political and economic contract of the highest order Picture Quote #1

And we have a little herb garden, which survived the winter thanks to global warming. It makes me feel like a cool, old Italian housewife, that I kept my rosemary alive outside all winter Picture Quote #1

I don't think you can come into your wisdom until you have made mistakes on your own skin and felt them in reality of your own life Picture Quote #1

I think a lot of people who feel as though they desperately want to be married oftentimes simply desperately want to have a wedding Picture Quote #1

Sureness is something like a neck brace, which we clamp around our lives, hoping to somehow protect ourselves from the frightening, constant whiplash of change. Sadly, the brace doesn't always hold Picture Quote #1

When you’re lost in those woods, it sometimes takes you a while to realize that you are lost Picture Quote #1

Keep showing up for your side of the job and give genius a chance to do its part Picture Quote #1

Everything good I’ve ever gotten in life, I only got because I gave something else up Picture Quote #1

I think my weakness as a writer is a limited imagination, and I think my strength is a talent for reflecting the world, or sort of curating things out of the world and putting them into books Picture Quote #1

For the entire decade of my 30s and the early part of my 40s, I didn’t write a word of fiction. I just left behind a dream of my life Picture Quote #1

I think the thing that I lost in myself when I stopped writing fiction and the thing that I rediscovered and started mining again is, for lack of a better word, magic. It’s the way you can brush up against the inexplicable and the mystical Picture Quote #1

All the parts of us that we ever were are always going to be with us. You make space to carry them and you just try not to let them drive. But you can’t chuck them out either Picture Quote #1

I have more compassion than if I had led a life where everything worked out exactly as I had planned or if I had never been wounded or if I had never been betrayed or I had never been harmed. I don’t think I would be as good a person Picture Quote #1

I’m still aspiring to be a better and better person, but I think that disappointments have made me gentler with other people and their disappointments, the stuff that they have to carry around and endure Picture Quote #1

When you want to do something creative and you want to do something new, you have to start with the thing that’s making you want to jump up out of bed in the morning Picture Quote #1

You can butcher the sheep only once. But if you are careful, you can shear the sheep every year Picture Quote #1

I consider a good dinner party at our house to be where people drink and eat more than they’re meant to Picture Quote #1

I think that if you can roast a chicken, you can get whatever you want out of a woman Picture Quote #1

What we’re all sort of trying to do in our lives is to make the simplest things work out the best Picture Quote #1

Marriage is a strange combination of dream and reality, and we spend our lives as couples trying to negotiate that divide Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I think of modern marriage as a car strangely fashioned out of an old abandoned horse carriage, built upon the framework of a mule cart. All the original engineering is still there, underneath it all Picture Quote #1

It’s not enough for me to just hear about something or read about something, I wanna know it in my bones Picture Quote #1

If you want to know the world, sometimes you have to get out and roll around Picture Quote #1
