“You think weakness is a problem. I want to be torn apart by everything.”
― Terese Marie Mailhot, Heart Berries: A Memoir

“The world is always changing. Learn how to allow for it. Somone makes a promise, and then they break it. A play gets good notices, and then it folds. A marriage looks strong, and then they divorce. For a while there's no war, and then there's another war. If you get too upset about it all, you become a stupid, unhappy person—and where's the good in that?”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, City of Girls

“People have a right to think things will change. I allowed myself that much.”
― Terese Marie Mailhot, Heart Berries: A Memoir

“You must learn in life to take things more lightly, my dear. The world is always changing. Learn how to allow for it.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, City of Girls
