Quote by Elizabeth Gilbert
I know Im not a self-indulgent idiot I also know Im not the second

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

Other quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert

Its not an accident that both my sister and I are writers. Our parents created an accidental Petri dish. My family has great storytellers, and I grew up in a very funny, conversational house and didnt have television. This small family farm was a bubble world that didnt have much to do with reality. – Elizabeth Gilbert

London Fields is one of my favorite books ever. And its indefensible! But hes so funny… I forgive him everything. – Elizabeth Gilbert
