“I know you know this, but I want to repeat that when someone(s) treats you poorly, it is a reflection of him or herself and the misery within the heart of them. It doesn’t help a bit to hear that when you’re young, but later it will.”
Virginia Evans, The Correspondent

Elizabeth Berg
“never did know what kindness was in the world until I admitted my need for it.”
Elizabeth Berg, Life: A Love Story

Julia Glass
“The trouble is, if you convince yourself the past's more glorious or worthy of attention than the future, your imagination's sunk.”
Julia Glass, Three Junes

Elizabeth Strout
“So blind we humans are—so blind. To each other and to ourselves, moving through life as though through shadows, putting out a hand in the dark and thinking we have touched someone. And maybe we have . . . But mostly we travel through life unsighted, grasping only the smallest details of one another’s selves, including our own. Thinking all the while that we can see.”
Elizabeth Strout, The Things We Never Say

Elizabeth Berg
“I believe that forgiveness is our holiest sacrament. You know my friend Teresa told me the three most common things that people say to others on their deathbed. They are I forgive you, I hope you forgive me, and I love you. In the grandest scheme of things, what else matters more? We need not to sanction bad behavior. Just forgive it. And admit that Lord, we are all messes sometimes. Let us strive for better. Let us”
Elizabeth Berg, Life: A Love Story
