Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “I had long ago learned that when you are the giant, alien visitor to a remote and foreign culture it is sort of your job to become an object of ridicule. It’s the least you can do, really, as a polite guest.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “Nothing will uproot your life more violently than true love – at least as far as I’ve always witnessed.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “The world just happens to you sometimes, is what I think. And people just gotta keep moving through it, best they can.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “What does any of that have to do with the quiet glory of merely making things, and then sharing those things with an open heart and no expectations?”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “A sage Portuguese sailor who had told him, years before ‘To be prosperous and happy in life, Henry, it is simple. Pick one woman, pick it well, and surrender.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “How could two people who were so in love not end up happily ever after? It had to work. Didn’t it?”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “I never wanted to be the person that waited for a stranger to come to town – I wanted to be the stranger!”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “But the very fact that this world is so challenging is exactly why you sometimes must reach out of its jurisdiction for help, appealing to a higher authority in order to find your comfort.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “I cannot overstate the power of libraries in my life.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “The other problem with all this swinging through the vines of thought is that you are never where you are. You are always digging in the past or poking at the future, but rarely do you rest in this moment.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “There are always two figures in a marriage, two votes, two conflicting sets of decisions, desires and limitations.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “We gallop through our lives like circus performers balancing on two speeding side-by-side horses – one foot is on the horse called “fate,” the other on the horse called “free will.” And the question you have to ask every day is – which horse is which? Which horse do I need to stop worrying about because it’s not under my control, and which do I need to steer with concentrated effort?”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “Perhaps creativity’s greatest mercy is this: By completely absorbing our attention for a short and magical spell, it can relieve us temporarily from the dreadful burden of being who we are. Best of all, at the end of your creative adventure, you have a souvenir – something that you made, something to remind you forever of your brief but transformative encounter with inspiration.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “I have watched so many other people murder their creativity by demanding that their art pay the bills.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “If your goal in life is to become fearless, then I believe you’re already on the wrong path, because the only truly fearless people I’ve ever met were straight-up sociopaths and a few exceptionally reckless three-year-olds – and those aren’t good role models for anyone. The truth is, you need your fear, for obvious reasons of basic survival. Evolution did well to install a fear reflex within you, because if you didn’t have any fear, you would lead a short, crazy, stupid life.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “Yoga is the effort to experience one’s divinity personally and then to hold on to that experience forever.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “Here in America, marriage still has a mystical, intangible power: It is a passport to adulthood and respectability and to a certain extent citizenship. Any relationship less than “married” is considered temporary and not worthy of honor.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “It’s not enough for me to just hear about something or read about something, I wanna know it in my bones.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “To my sister’s eyes, there is nothing which cannot be explained if one has access to a proper reference library.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “If something is rubbing so hard against you, you can be sure it’s working on you.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “Genetic randomness had already determined how much talent I’d been allotted, and destiny’s randomness would account for my share of luck. The only piece I had any control over was my discipline. Recognizing that, it seemed like the best plan would be to work my ass off. That was the only card I had to play, so I played it hard.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “My hypersensitive awareness of time’s speed led me to push myself to experience life at a maximum pace. If I were going to have such a short visit on earth, I had to do everything possible to experience it now.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “Nothing is so essential as dignity. Time will reveal who has it and wi has it not.” -Beatrix Whittaker.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “I wanted to be all Gandhi about this. I wanted to be all Nelson Mandela about this. Not realizing at the time that both Gandhi and Mandela were lawyers.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “I happen to believe we are all walking repositories of buried treasure.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “You might get nothing out of it at all except a beautiful, long life where all you did was follow your gorgeous curiosity. And that should be enough too.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “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.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “Reality has taught us that no woman can build an honest life without sacrificing something along the way. Deciding what will be sacrificed is not easy.”

Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “It is merely this world that is chaotic, bringing changes to us all that nobody could have anticipated.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “Having money saved is not quite the same thing as having a plan, mind you – but it does start to make a girl feel as though a plan could someday be possible.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “Music is nothing more than decoration for the imagination. That.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “I know this simple fact to be true, for I myself have abandoned people who did not want me to go, and I myself have been abandoned by those whom I begged to stay.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “The sentences still form in my mind, and thoughts still do their little show-off dance, but I know my thought patterns so well now that they don’t bother me anymore. My thoughts have become like old neighbors, kind of bothersome but ultimately rather endearing – Mr. and Mrs. Yakkity-Yak and their three dumb children, Blah, Blah and Blah. But they don’t agitate my home. There’s room for all of us in this neighborhood.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “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 Quote: “We are not alien visitors to this planet, after all but natural residents and relatives of every living entity here. This earth is where we came from and where we’ll all end up when we die, and during the interim, it is our home, And there’s no way we can ever hope to understand ourselves if we don’t at least marginally understand our home.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “Felipe and I, as we discover to our delight, are a perfectly matched, genetically engineered belly-to-belly success story.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “Everybody imitates before they can innovate.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “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.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “We all seem to get this idea that, in order to be sacred, we have to make some massive, drastic change of character, that we have to renounce our individuality. To know God, you only need to renounce one thing – your sense of division from God.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “Never has it felt more important for me to tell stories of joy and abandon, passion and recklessness. Life is short and difficult, people. We must take our pleasures where we can find them. Let us not become so cautious that we forget to live.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “Then my mercy swelled, and for just a moment I felt mercy for everyone who has ever gotten involved in an impossibly messy story. All those predicaments that we humans find ourselves in – predicaments that we never see coming, do not know how to handle, and then cannot fix.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “What you produce is not necessarily always sacred, I realized, just because you think it’s sacred. What is sacred is the time that you spend working on the project, and what that time does to expand your imagination, and what that expanded imagination does to transform your life.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “My mother has made choices in her life, as we all must, and she is at peace with them. I can see her peace. She did not cop out on herself. The benefits of her choices are massive-a long, stable marriage to a man she still calls her best friend; a family that has extended now into grandchildren who adore her; a certainty in her own strength. Maybe some things were sacrificed, and my dad made his sacrifices, too-but who amongst us lives without sacrifice?”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “It ain’t what they call you; it’s what you answer to.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “I don’t want to be afraid of bright colors, or new sounds, or big love, or risky decisions, or strange experiences, or weird endeavors, or sudden changes, or even failure.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “If faith were rational, it wouldn’t be – by definition – faith. Faith is belief in what you cannot see or prove or touch. Faith is walking face-first and full-speed into the dark. If we truly knew all the answers in advance as to the meaning of life and the nature of God and the destiny of souls, our belief would not be a leap of faith and it would not be a courageous act of humanity; it would just be... a prudent insurance policy.”
Elizabeth Gilbert Quote: “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.”
