There is nothing that anyone can get past a forty-five-year-old woman.” We laugh hard, the first honest sound I make that afternoon, or in many days, each of us feeling the ravages of experience, our debt to enduring. We are not to be fucked with. We rule. Even as we age and help our children push past us, as we worry about the estimate for the roof, forget things we meant to do, regard our widening bodies, we rule. We’ve returned again and again to our original selves for another look; we have refined our purpose. Changes we thought we’d been resisting have anyway been wrought, and they have made us unbreakable. Susanna Sonnenberg
About This Quote

1) A forty-five-year-old woman is old enough to be highly experienced and wise in the ways of the world. 2) Those people, who are older than us, we look up to because they have accomplished a lot during their lifetime and we return to them repeatedly to get guidance and wisdom.
