More quotes by Elizabeth Berg
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.
Elizabeth Berg
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.
Elizabeth Berg
No one wants to mother more vigilantly than a woman who is childless and wishes she wasn’t.
Elizabeth Berg
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.
Elizabeth Berg
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.
Elizabeth Berg
Don't let your habits become handcuffs
Elizabeth Berg
Do you think that people ever really do believe they will die, that the world will just go along as always without them? I wonder if we aren't all a little surprised at the moment of crossover, if we don't look back over our shoulders saying, Now hold on.

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.
Elizabeth Berg
I hadn't realized how much I'd been needing to meet someone I might be able to say everything to.
Elizabeth Berg
Remember me in your dreams, as I will you.
Elizabeth Berg
Abstracts are real and time is a lie, it cannot be measured when one moment can expand to hold everything.
Elizabeth Berg
I believe that the souls of women flatten and anchor themselves in times of adversity, lay in for the stay. I've heard that when elephants are attacked they often run, not away, but toward each other. Perhaps it is because they are a matriarchal society.
Elizabeth Berg
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.
Elizabeth Berg
I like to listen to sad music when I’m sad. It seems honest. It makes me cry, and sometimes a good cry is the only thing that can make you feel better.
Elizabeth Berg
Anything we have, we are only borrowing. Anything. Any time.
Elizabeth Berg
Just one look and then I knew that all I longed for long ago was you
Elizabeth Berg
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.
Elizabeth Berg
But in spite of my great desire for intimacy, I've always been a loner. Perhaps when the longing for connection is as strong as it is in me, when the desire is for something so deep and true, one knows better than to try. One sees that this is not the place for that.
