Elizabeth Berg
Anything we have, we are only borrowing. Anything. Any time.

As far as I'm concerned, the most important thing you need when inventing characters is empathy.

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 will happen when you're not looking for it. Love likes to take you by surprise.

The truth is, aging can be your realest opportunity to decide how best to live - and the best incentive for getting you to do just that.
Elizabeth Berg
You are born into your family and your family is born into you. No returns. No exchanges.
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

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.
