It's 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 didn't have television. This small family farm was a bubble world that didn't have much to do with reality.

  • -- Elizabeth Gilbert 伊丽莎白·吉尔伯特

我姐姐和我都是作家,这不是偶然的。我们的父母偶然创造了一个培养皿。我的家庭有很棒的说书人,我在一个非常有趣、健谈的家庭长大,家里没有电视。这个小型家庭农场是一个泡沫世界,与现实没有多大关系。
