Elizabeth Gilbert Quotes

Forever. To Create A Family With A Spouse Is One Of The Most Fundamental Ways A Person Can Find Continuity And Meaning In American (or Any) Society. I Rediscover This Truth Every Time I Go To A Big Reunion Of My Mother's Family In Minnesota And I See How Everyone Is Held So Reassuringly In Their Positions Over The Years. First You Are A Child, Then You Are A Teenager, Then You Are A Young Married Person, Then You Are A Parent, Then You Are Retired, Then You Are A Grandparent - At Every Stage You Know Who You Are, You Know What Your Duty Is And You Know Where To Sit At The Reunion. You Sit With The Other Children, Or Teenagers, Or Young Parents, Or Retirees. Until At Last You Are Sitting With The Ninety-year-olds In The Shade, Watching Over Your Progeny With Satisfaction.
