I dont 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. – Elizabeth Gilbert
I love my friends and family, but I also love it when they cant 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. – Elizabeth Gilbert

I know Im not a self-indulgent idiot I also know Im not the second coming of Deepak Chopra. If I had believed either of those, or both, as some people do when they get famous, thats when the mental illness arrives. – Elizabeth Gilbert
