I think a lot of people who feel as though they desperately want to be married oftentimes simply desperately want to have a wedding. – Elizabeth Gilbert

What I think is amazing is not that 85% of people who get married under the age of 25 get divorced, its that 15% of them stay together. How did they manage to pull that off? You almost cant wait too long. Its the single simplest measure to predict divorce. – 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
When I celebrated my bar mitzvah, there was no cake. Today, there is no such thing as a bar mitzvah in the United States without a special cake. It can be even more complicated and expensive than a wedding cake, because bar-mitzvah cakes are often based on a particular theme. – Ron Ben-Israel
