Elizabeth Berg Quotes

Ruth has friends like other people have wardrobes. I mean that there’s someone for every occasion Picture Quote #1

I don’t think men try to make women be like them, but I think women try to make men be like them, a lot Picture Quote #1

I remove my wedding rings and put them in the jewelry box. So many others have done this. I am not the only one. I am not the only one. But here, I am the only one Picture Quote #1

When it’s new and important, you have to rest in between times. And anyway, even when I like a person there is a weariness that comes. I can be with someone and everything is fine and then all of a sudden it can wash over me like a sickness, that I need the quiet of my own self. I need to unload my head and look at what I’ve got in there so far. See it. Think what it means. I always need to come back to being alone for a while Picture Quote #1

It is never about how good your voice is; it is only about feeling the urge to sing, and then having the courage to do it with the voice you are given Picture Quote #1

I thought of the priest who’d told me that many religions hold that it is easier to be closely connected to people we love after death than before Picture Quote #1

$Well, anyway, her death changed our lives for the better, because it brought a kind of awareness, a specific sense of purpose and appreciation we hadn’t had before. Would I trade that in order to have her back? In a fraction of a millisecond. But I won’t ever have her back. So I have taken this, as her great gift to us. But. Do I block her out? Never. Do I think of her? Always. In some part of my brain, I think of her every single moment of every single day Picture Quote #1$

I hadn’t realized how much I’d been needing to meet someone I might be able to say everything to Picture Quote #1

You are born into your family and your family is born into you. No returns. No exchanges Picture Quote #1

I will come back as a little breeze. You will feel me on your face, and you will know that I am still listening. So you can still talk to me Picture Quote #1

You are always in my thoughts. When you were little, I knew your whereabouts at any given moment. Now that you are... off on your own, I still always know where you are, because I keep you in my heart Picture Quote #1

No one wants to mother more vigilantly than a woman who is childless and wishes she wasn’t Picture Quote #1

I felt myself trapped in line for a ride I was not nearly ready for, looking back but moving forward in the only direction I could go Picture Quote #1

Now, on this road trip, my mind seemed to uncrinkle, to breathe, to present to itself a cure for a disease it had not, until now, known it had Picture Quote #1

It’s amazing how smart the body is. Though maybe we could do without loving. I think it’s overrated, and I think it’s too hard. You should only love your children; that is necessary, because otherwise you might kill them. But to love a man? It’s overrated, and it’s too hard and I will never, ever do it again Picture Quote #1

She sits down and puts her hand to her chest and rocks. Thinks of all she has lost and will lose. All she has had and will have. It seems to her that life is like gathering berries into an apron with a hole. Why do we keep on? Because the berries are beautiful, and we must eat to survive. We catch what we can. We walk past what we lose for the promise of more, just ahead Picture Quote #1

I turn off the radio, listen to the quiet. Which has its own, rich sound. Which I knew, but had forgotten. And it is good to remember Picture Quote #1

For all it’s problems and difficulties, life is mostly a wonderful experience, and it is up to each person to make the most of each day. I hope you are successful in your life, but look to the heavens and the earth and especially to other people to find your real wealth. Wherever I am, wherever you go, know that my love goes with you Picture Quote #1

Make time for prayer and reflection; try to understand your value as a man on earth but see, too, your proper place in the scheme of things. It may sound funny to say this, but I have come to see that we are all far more important and less important than we think Picture Quote #1

People say you should give until it hurts. I say you should give until it stops hurting. Know what I mean? Picture Quote #1

Never be afraid of doing the thing you know in your heart is right, even if others don’t agree Picture Quote #1

As a writer, you should have a sticky soul; the act of continually taking things in should be as much a part of you as your hair color Picture Quote #1

The seasons tell us, everything in organic life tells us, that there is no holding on; still, we try to do just that. Sometimes, though, we learn the kind of wisdom that celebrates the open hand Picture Quote #1

It will happen when you’re not looking for it. Love likes to take you by surprise Picture Quote #1

You feel the call. That’s the important thing. Now answer it as fully as you can. Take the risk to let all that is in you, out. Escape into the open Picture Quote #1

It feels like some part of me that was curled down and waiting in the dark has risen, and now stands stretching and strong in the sunshine. I knew it Picture Quote #1

It seems like people are all the time making themselves themselves, but they don’t really know it. You can only have true vision when you look behind. A person can slide so fast into being something they never really intended. I wonder if you can truly resurrect your own self Picture Quote #1

One thing I have always been is too short. It’s adorable when you’re in junior high. After that, it’s a pain in the ass for the rest of your life Picture Quote #1

I cried until my eyes swelled shut, and then I slept, a black, dreamless sleep from which I awoke amazingly refreshed, at least until I remembered Picture Quote #1

I would make an anonymous call and say, this is someone who cares, do you know what kind of children you have? Picture Quote #1
