Like everyone, I was a huge fan of David Boies, and from what I knew about him, I thought he might ‘get’ me. So I sent him an email. I said I want to practice law but that I didn’t want to stop writing and I asked if there was any way I could practice law for him. Elizabeth Wurtzel Read Quote
I used to feel that I spent too much of my time in my pajamas doing nothing, and I’d think ‘in the time that I don’t spend writing, I could raise a family of five.’ In a lot of ways, being a writer is lonely and alienating. Elizabeth Wurtzel Read Quote
Bruce Springsteen really got any creative person’s dream career, and his good-heartedness and good-spiritedness are part of it: both because it made the people behind the scenes want to do their jobs that much better, but it also means that he connects with an audience in a way that holds them close.

Israel fights back, which is very much at odds with the Jewish instinct to discuss and deconstruct everything until action itself seems senseless. Elizabeth Wurtzel Read Quote
Because trying to see all sides, such an instinct is particularly Jewish. Elizabeth Wurtzel Read Quote
As it is my good fortune to be American, I live in the only country that as a matter of policy is pro-Israel regardless of party allegiance; Democrats and Republicans equally unite behind the blue-and-white. Elizabeth Wurtzel Read Quote
My imagination, my ability to understand the way love and people grow over time, how passion can surprise and renew, utterly failed me. Elizabeth Wurtzel Read Quote
