Don't let your habits become handcuffs
Elizabeth Berg
My mind was in my heart, anchored like a bright kite in a safe place.

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
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
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 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.
