You are born into your family and your family is born into you. No returns. No exchanges.

Elizabeth Berg
About This Quote

If you are not born into your family, you are not part of it. If you are not born into your family, you don’t belong to it. You can’t choose to be part of it or choose to leave it, and you will always be outsiders. This quote is very true because it only applies to families. It does not apply to groups or society in general.
