Famous Quotes from Elizabeth Gilbert

Elizabeth Gilbert quote #383 from Eat

I have a history of making decisions very quickly about men. I have always fallen in love fast and without measuring risks. I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man rather than with the man himself and I have hung on to the relationship for a long time sometimes far too long waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness. Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism.

Elizabeth Gilbert quote #415 from Eat

People think a soul mate is your perfect fit and thats what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror the person who shows you everything that is holding you back the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person youll ever meet because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever Nah. Too painful. Soul mates they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you and then leave. A soul mates purpose is to shake you up tear apart your ego a little bit show you your obstacles and addictions break your heart open so new light can get in make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life then introduce you to your spiritual master...

Elizabeth Gilbert quote #130 from Eat

I filled the song with everything I wished I could teach him about life. I tried to reassure him with every line about how the world is hard and unfair sometimes but that its all OK beacuse he is so loved. He is surrounded by souls who would do anything to help him. And not only that- he has wisdom and patience of his own buried deep inside his being which will only reveal themselves over time and will always carry him through any trial. He is a gift from God to all of us.
