More quotes by Elizabeth Berg
There is incredible value in being of service to others.
Elizabeth Berg
The truth is, we usually only show our unhappiness to another woman. I suppose this is one of our problems. And yet it is also one of our strengths.
Elizabeth Berg
Sometimes serendipity is just intention unmasked.
Elizabeth Berg
My mind was in my heart, anchored like a bright kite in a safe place.
Elizabeth Berg
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.
Elizabeth Berg
The things that brought me the most comfort now were too small to list. Raspberries in cream. Sparrows with cocked heads. Shadows of bare limbs making for sidewalk filigrees. Roses past their prime with their petals loose about them. The shouts of children at play in the neighborhood, Ginger Rogers on the black-and-white screen.
Elizabeth Berg
I hate banana bread. It's too suspicious-looking. I always thought the cooked banana looked like insect legs.
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 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
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
There is incredible value in being of service to others.
Elizabeth Berg
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
Elizabeth Berg
You don't get everything all at once. You wait.
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.
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
