This is one rule about mixing boys and girls: that a date always comes first.
Elizabeth Berg
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.
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
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
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.

No one wants to mother more vigilantly than a woman who is childless and wishes she wasn’t.
Elizabeth Berg
I hate banana bread. It's too suspicious-looking. I always thought the cooked banana looked like insect legs.
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
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
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.
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
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 hadn't realized how much I'd been needing to meet someone I might be able to say everything to.
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
Sometimes serendipity is just intention unmasked.
Elizabeth Berg
You are born into your family and your family is born into you. No returns. No exchanges.
