Marcel was from Louisiana, so for four years Emily had been southern by association. She insisted on Lynchburg Lemonades. She scheduled interviews around the Gators. She championed gentility. Anyone at a dinner party who thought they could tell a joke making fun of the region encountered a faceful of Emily, quick and ferocious as a convert, as a woman who loved a man.
Emily now had no claim to the South. The region and its interests would proceed without her. ~ Marie-Helene Bertino
Break Ups quotes by Marie-Helene Bertino
It's much more interesting to try and understand what binds two people together. why we stay with each other is much more of a mystery than why we don't. ~ Jane Stanton Hitchcock
Break Ups quotes by Jane Stanton Hitchcock
Attraction is often mistaken to be love.
If you're in a relationship doesn't necessarily mean you're in love. And what do you do when that ephemeral attraction is long gone?
What people call break-ups are nothing more but the realization that you didn't love them at the first place ...
Shouldn't you have been more careful before making those empty promises? ~ Sanhita Baruah
Break Ups quotes by Sanhita Baruah
My demeanor isn't that of a woman enraged. To see me slumped, glassy-eyed, holding a sandwich someone has cut for me into four "manageable" pieces, a person might tell you I look much more like a woman subdued. ~ Koren Zailckas
Break Ups quotes by Koren Zailckas
I'll be honest with you, the number one reason for all of my past break ups was too much complacency. I'm not perfect, but I just know I'm not cut out for mediocrity in any shape or form. Moreover, I think this has a lot to do with my life purpose as well. I believe I was not brought into this world to turn complacent women into passionate women, but rather to turn passionate women into goddesses. ~ Lebo Grand
Break Ups quotes by Lebo Grand
The shock caused by the fall of a careless word displaces that against which it strikes. At times it happens, without our knowing why, that because we have received an almost imperceptible blow from a chance word, the heart insensibly empties itself of love. He who loves, perceives a decline in his happiness. There is nothing more to be dreaded than this slow exudation from the fissure in the vase. ~ Victor Hugo
Break Ups quotes by Victor Hugo
Break-ups are hard for anybody, but it's particularly tough when it's being documented and you see the person's picture everywhere. Most people don't have that added problem when they break up with someone. ~ Winona Ryder
Break Ups quotes by Winona Ryder
Plus, how can she be your soul mate? Didn't you tell me she'd never read Harry Potter? Do you really want to spend the rest of your life with someone like that? I mean, for God's sake, think of your children. What kind of environment would they be growing up in with such a mother? ~ Krystal Sutherland
Break Ups quotes by Krystal Sutherland
Hangovers are a vivid form of vengeance. Last night my apartment became the venue for a small, introverted chardonnay festival. A melancholy choir of Bulgarians provided the entertainment, via a set of headphones that ended up irredeemably tangled beneath the bed. Part of me just watched. The other part was in charge. ~ Liz Jensen
Break Ups quotes by Liz Jensen
Time.

For some it was a great healer, the ultimate fixer of bad break-ups, shake-ups, and heartache…

For others, Time was an insidious stealer of all things they want most in life, stripping it away from them by sneakily changing the rules of obtaining it… For all the joyful wishes and hopeful desires held near and dear to our hearts, Time was the one element most likely to keep it from our reach.

To me, Time was all of these, and none. Time simply is. It's the framework in which we play out the games of our lives, but the secret is not to control it. It is not to master it. It is simply to learn to exist fully within the moment, to be aware of every facet of our being, and to wring every ounce of joy from it. Perhaps we were our own thieves, lamenting the absence of even a spare moment to enjoy life, when all it really takes is to stop the complaints, take the moment firmly in hand, and make it our own. Because the secret is that Time passes, and if you let it, it will leave you in its wake, aching with every beat of your heart and in every fiber of your being for what you have missed. ~ Madelyn Alt
Break Ups quotes by Madelyn Alt
I made promises to you that I'm not sure I can keep. ~ Judy Blume
Break Ups quotes by Judy Blume
Break ups aren't fair. Why does only one person have power? We both agreed to start dating. Why do you get to make the decision to end it? Shouldn't it be a joint decision too?
Relationships aren't a democracy. Not everyone gets an equal vote. ~ Alyssa Ivy Rose
Break Ups quotes by Alyssa Ivy Rose
You're just another story I can't tell anymore. ~ Pleasefindthis
Break Ups quotes by Pleasefindthis
It sometimes seemed so peculiar and so wrong that you could be that intimate with someone, to go to sleep with him and wake up with him, to do really quite extraordinarily personal things together on a regular basis, and then, suddenly, you don't even know his telephone number, or where he's living or working, or what he did today or last week or last year. ~ Liane Moriarty
Break Ups quotes by Liane Moriarty
Following the death of his wife, Sam Johnson wrote to the Reverend Mr. Thomas Warton, "I have ever since seemed to myself broken off from mankind; a kind of solitary wanderer in the wilds of life, without any certain direction, or fixed point of view: a gloomy gazer on a world to which I have little relation."
But my wife wasn't dead, merely absent. ~ Mordecai Richler
Break Ups quotes by Mordecai Richler
I wish I hadn't met you in the rain: it comes every winter.
I wish you hadn't told me your favorite wine: I've become a drinker.
I wish I never showed you my hidden birthmark:
It looks back at me at night asking where you are.
I wish I hadn't read you my journal, all the pages praising you,
It's corrupted now that I can't tell if I write for me or you.
I wish I hadn't told you my daily routine: it's not mine anymore.
I can't enjoy 11:11, my favorite song, a birthday cake, or a concert tour.
I'm not afraid of the future, it's the past that takes a while. ~ Karl Kristian Flores
Break Ups quotes by Karl Kristian Flores
Work is a four letter word. It conjures up the same image the world over getting up in the morning to do something you don't want to do, day in day out. After a few months work, or years, depending on the person's primeval yearning for freedom, you feel like a robot: alarm clock, get up, wash, catch the train, work, go home, watch TV, go to bed. In that one sentence I've probably just described the daily routine of 95% of the working population of England. It's the same in every other developed country in the world. Routine is the cause of most marriage break ups and social discontent. ~ John Harris
Break Ups quotes by John Harris
Who do those boys think they are, treating us as if we are their property, taking away our innocence? ~ Tessa Emily Hall
Break Ups quotes by Tessa Emily Hall
Call me later, you'd said, so I could call you later, at night, and it is those nights I miss you, Ed, the most, on the phone, you beautiful bastard. ~ Daniel Handler
Break Ups quotes by Daniel Handler
HE didn't realize she was his everything until he gave her up for everything else. ~ Alexandria Heather
Break Ups quotes by Alexandria Heather
Forgiveness is not an event. It is a series of decisions made over and over again. ~ Karen Salmansohn
Break Ups quotes by Karen Salmansohn
At times, we are the bridge that allows another to re-enter the world after a loss. Don't mistake it for more or its beauty may be lost. ~ Danielle Pierre
Break Ups quotes by Danielle Pierre
I know he is afraid of that desert which would be around him if our love were to end, but he can't realize that I feel exactly the same. What he says aloud I say to myself silently and write it here. What can one build in the desert? Sometimes after a day when we have made love many times, I wonder whether it isn't possible to come to an end of sex, and I know that he is wondering too and is afraid of that point where the desert begins. What do we do in the desert if we lose each other? How does one go on living after that? ~ Graham Greene
Break Ups quotes by Graham Greene
I always say that anybody who's single ― like Sara ― their love is the most intense love. The heartbreak they're enduring is the most intense heartbreak. We cannot understand what Sara's going through. When it's love, it's my love, you can't understand it. You can't compare. But I really related to where Sara was on this record. When she was writing these songs and coming to me like: You don't understand, I was like: You're right, but I also do. ~ Tegan Quin
Break Ups quotes by Tegan Quin
If you have to be told how you should feel then those feelings are not strong enough to make you feel alive; they become rules that don't fit your life script. Not every person will place the same importance as you do on one of the six human needs: certainty, variety, significance, connection/love, growth or contributions. When you know what is most important for yourself and learn to recognize what need is the most important to others, then you can begin to unlock the real reason behind conflict. ~ Shannon L. Alder
Break Ups quotes by Shannon L. Alder
When someone leaves you, apart from missing them, apart from the fact that the whole little world you've created together collapses, and that everything you see or do reminds you of them, the worst is the thought that they tried you out and, in the end, the whole sum of parts adds up to you got stamped REJECT by the one you love. How can you not be left with the personal confidence of a passed over British Rail sandwich? ~ Helen Fielding
Break Ups quotes by Helen Fielding
Let's still be friends (things that are never true in a break up, but you have to say). ~ Lauren Leto
Break Ups quotes by Lauren Leto
When you break up with someone, and I'm not talking casual breakups here, it's hard to take the sudden absence of such an important person in your life. It reminded me of when I'd stopped going to school and the weird uneasy feeling I'd gotten afterward, like I was forgetting to do something. My life until that point had pivoted around some form of education, and all of a sudden, it was gone. Homework, classes, running around, and then – bam – nothing but a life of work stretching out before you. No one prepares you for that feeling or even mentions it. You just suddenly have a gap and have to decide how to fill it.

A break up is like that gap, only much, much more painful. One day the person you talked to constantly or did stuff with is just absent. Gone. Poof. And even though I'm not one of those people who has to be in a relationship all the time, I was feeling at a loss. ~ Lish McBride
Break Ups quotes by Lish McBride
I loved you when I left you. ~ Abby Norman
Break Ups quotes by Abby Norman
You're saying nothing lasts forever, he heard the fellow whine. (Well, pretty trite, he thought.)
No, he heard her say. I'm saying with very few exceptions nothing lasts forever, and amongst those exceptions, no work or thought of man is numbered.
She went on talking after this, but he homed in on that. That was better, he thought. I liked that. ~ Iain M. Banks
Break Ups quotes by Iain M. Banks
After break up we just miss the memories but we mistakenly think we miss the mate. ~ Amit Kalantri
Break Ups quotes by Amit Kalantri
You don't see him again. Sometimes you worry that he loved you better than any man ever has or will
even if it had nothing to do with you. Even now, he is every blue blazer getting into a cab, every runner along the river, every motorcycle coming and going. ~ Melissa Bank
Break Ups quotes by Melissa Bank
When you don't want something or someone anymore, the truth is, you don't give a damn about who has it. And that's the truth. - TheAffidavitOfNiedriaDionneKenny ~ Niedria Dionne Kenny
Break Ups quotes by Niedria Dionne Kenny
Thanks liver... you are a champ! ~ Siddhant R. Shinde
Break Ups quotes by Siddhant R. Shinde
When it comes to break ups:
Don't get mad ... just live a better life and forget about it! ~ Timothy Pina
Break Ups quotes by Timothy Pina
The faster you search for a new partner, the faster you will get over your break-up blues…. Love is nothing more than an illusion. ~ Aman Jassal
Break Ups quotes by Aman Jassal
There was magic. Some kind of alchemy. I don't remember the moment you transformed from a prop into a main character. No, that's not what happened. I don't remember when you shape-
shifted from an elf into a Prince. No, that isn't it either. What I really mean is: I don't know if we were meant to fall into each other all along or if you were just in the right place at the right time. Yes, I found safety in your arms in the middle of a hurricane I chose to escape, and I still don't know how it would have turned out if someone else came to my door that day. Or if you never held me. Or if I never cried. Or if everything hadn't been so fairy tale. Until it wasn't. Do you see the magic now, now that it's too late? Do you still remember me? Do I still remember you? And what, in the end, have we learned? Is it really better to have loved and lost? Was it love for you? Who now is dying faster from the lonely? ~ Vironika Tugaleva
Break Ups quotes by Vironika Tugaleva
I could've sworn I was telling the truth when I told you I didn't miss you. ~ Pleasefindthis
Break Ups quotes by Pleasefindthis
You play me with your jazz & leave me with the blues. ~ Curtis Tyrone Jones
Break Ups quotes by Curtis Tyrone Jones
With some break-ups, all you can think about afterwards is how badly it ended and how much the other person hurt you. With others, you become sentimental for the good times and lose track of what went wrong. ~ David Levithan
Break Ups quotes by David Levithan
Some people don't realize what they have until it's gone, but that does not always mean they are supposed to get it back. ~ Stephan Labossiere
Break Ups quotes by Stephan Labossiere
The sweetest misery is that caused by love. ~ Alexandria Heather
Break Ups quotes by Alexandria Heather
I know you're just a rag doll now, sewn together with memories that we might have had. I know you're just the dream inside of a dream And don't worry, I know I don't know you, anymore. ~ Pleasefindthis
Break Ups quotes by Pleasefindthis
Love is like a tide. When it's in, everything looks beautiful and inviting. Only when love recedes can you see the debris beneath the surface - the old bottles, the rusty prams, the sewage pipes, the bloated cats and dogs weighted down to drown. The man I had once loved so passionately I now saw as weak, gutted like a fish. ~ Kathy Lette
Break Ups quotes by Kathy Lette
Now,
Because I put you in the past,
My life is like:
A path paved,
Fit for your feet.
Now other women walk on it;
And not one of them fits.
Walking crooked, on a path that's straight.
I watch them.
They don't even have your gait. ~ Innocent Mwatsikesimbe
Break Ups quotes by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe
The person who wants out of the relationship always gets her way. ~ Emily Giffin
Break Ups quotes by Emily Giffin
Tell me that you refuse to allow me to be so stupid. Tell me that you will not tolerate this relationship being over just when it was on the verge of really taking off. ~ Freya North
Break Ups quotes by Freya North
The challenge to me as a director was for the audience to see the film as going on in a straight line, so that they did not sense all of these break-ups. I did not want a film to be a collage of all these images. ~ Pedro Almodovar
Break Ups quotes by Pedro Almodovar
If you didn't love him, this never would have happened. But you did. And accepting that love and everything that followed it is part of letting it go. ~ Sarah Dessen
Break Ups quotes by Sarah Dessen
He punched me in the face," Ash said, who understandably did not seem to find the situation humorous at all. "And then he yelled at me for sleeping with our personal trainer!"
"I was told breakup scenes were a good way to distract people," Jared said with beautiful simplicity.
"Ash looked so surprised," Holly said. "He had no idea what was going on. He said, 'I didn't sleep with our personal trainer! We don't even have a personal trainer!'"
Angela and Holly giggled. Ash held the back of his hand to his bleeding mouth and glared.
Jared was still grinning like a maniac. "In that case," he told Ash solemnly, "I will consider taking you back. ~ Sarah Rees Brennan
Break Ups quotes by Sarah Rees Brennan
When a man", continued Raoul,"adopts such romantic methods to entice a young girl's affections.."
"The man must be either a villain, or the girl a fool: is that it? ~ Gaston Leroux
Break Ups quotes by Gaston Leroux
The administrative and hierarchic aspects seem to be crucial in the evolution of belief systems. The truth is first revealed to all men, but very quickly individuals appear claiming sole authority and a duty to interpret, administer and, if need be, alter this truth in the name of the common good. To this end they establish a powerful and potentially repressive organisation. This phenomenon, which biology shows us is common to any social group, soon transforms the doctrine into a means of achieving control and political power. Divisions, wars and break-ups become inevitable. Sooner or later, the word becomes flesh and the flesh bleeds. ~ Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Break Ups quotes by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Do you think you can wait - because I don't want you to stop loving me. I keep remembering us and how it was. I don't want to hurt you ... not ever ... ~ Judy Blume
Break Ups quotes by Judy Blume
Break ups are painful, but if initiated at the right time can fuel one's sense of optimism. ~ Dov Davidoff
Break Ups quotes by Dov Davidoff
Men grew up receiving from their mothers without giving anything in return, and they unconsciously expect the same from their women. Could this unintendedly taught and unknowingly learnt selfishness be responsible for break-ups and divorce? Give at least a promise to your woman and keep it. ~ Haruna Idowu
Break Ups quotes by Haruna Idowu
One of the odd things about living in an apartment was that you could walk out of someone's life but still have to wait for the elevator. (p.220) ~ James Collins
Break Ups quotes by James Collins
That I don't feel upset by us really being over almost trivializes how special and intense our relationship once was. ~ Daria Snadowsky
Break Ups quotes by Daria Snadowsky
When you enter your next relationship, you become the person you split up with. ~ Gina Barreca
Break Ups quotes by Gina Barreca
I didn't know a living person could hurt you so badly.
When the pain originates with someone who is gone, it's your own memory that hurts you. Walking through the house, touching things they've touched, hearing sounds they heard, wondering what they would've thought of one thing or another. This is pain that I know, pain that I can handle, pain that is so much a part of me that if it were removed I would not be whole.
But when it's someone who's alive who hurts you, the pain can't be escaped. The things they've touched are still warm because they were just there, the sounds they hear reach your ears too - sometimes their own voice, and it's excruciating to bear. I know what he thinks about this, that, or the other because I can hear him saying so. But not to me. He doesn't talk to me anymore. ~ Mindy McGinnis
Break Ups quotes by Mindy McGinnis
Words, Kaden. Only lost unsaid words that added up to good-bye. ~ Mary E. Pearson
Break Ups quotes by Mary E. Pearson
Crying over a guy?
nahhhh!
heads up princess, your tiara is falling ~ Urtear
Break Ups quotes by Urtear
I find that break-ups are so much easier when you can hate the person. ~ Lizzy Caplan
Break Ups quotes by Lizzy Caplan
Treat your heart like a turnstile. Open it to only those who got valid tickets. ~ Stef Harder
Break Ups quotes by Stef Harder
Everyone's allowed to be in love with the wrong person at some point. In fact, it's a mistake not to be. ~ Harriet Evans
Break Ups quotes by Harriet Evans
Break-ups are survivable. It´s the aftershocks that get you. ~ Nick Alexander
Break Ups quotes by Nick Alexander
Yes, exes can be good friends, but after a certain time. Though no break-up is a good break-up, time heals everything, including broken friendships. It also depends on the kind of people they are, their mindsets and the reasons for the break ups. ~ Bipasha Basu
Break Ups quotes by Bipasha Basu
Sometimes I think of rebuilding my friendship with old friends. But at the same time, there's a reason why we fell off. Shit happens, but life's good. ~ Manasa Rao
Break Ups quotes by Manasa Rao
There were many things she could have said, but we forget to forge armor against the knife-thrusts of our loved ones. ~ Angela Panayotopulos
Break Ups quotes by Angela Panayotopulos
Break ups have the tendency to put us off of love and emotions. In our hour of pain in comes Savagery on its white horse to save the day, because of course in the land of the brokenhearted, the savage man is king. We think that because the break up hurt so bad that we have been gifted with the right to move forward only caring about how things effect us, pretending as if we have no emotions. It will seem at first that this jump into the give no F's pool is great, but eventually the pain that you're running from will show up. Don't waste the opportunity to deal with your pain instead of hiding from it. It is by dealing with it that you keep this break up from becoming baggage. ~ Stalina Goodwin
Break Ups quotes by Stalina Goodwin
With even the slightest upset, detachment soon followed. I didn't lose sleep over men, and I was too restless to be tied down. The grass didn't even have time to grow around my feet before I was planning my next escape – whether it was to another state or out of someone's life. ~ M.B. Dallocchio
Break Ups quotes by M.B. Dallocchio
You fall in love without knowing and break up when you knows everything. ~ Pratik Akkawar
Break Ups quotes by Pratik Akkawar
A woman might save him from a heart attack, but she'll kill him in every other way. ~ Rachel Higginson
Break Ups quotes by Rachel Higginson
Once in a while, I smell Clive on my skin and it stops my day. It's a train crossing; I wait to pass. Eventually the lights stop flashing, the barriers lift. I keep moving. ~ Marie-Helene Bertino
Break Ups quotes by Marie-Helene Bertino
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'The signs of a hypocrite are three: 1. Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie. 2. Whenever he promises, he always breaks it (his promise). 3. If you trust him, he proves to be dishonest (if you keep something as a trust with him, he will not return it).' ~ Abu Hurairah
Break Ups quotes by Abu Hurairah
The difference between the butch and the queen is rooted in the system of male supremacy. Gay male camp is based not simply on the incongruous juxtaposition of femininity and maleness, but also on the reordering of particular power relationships inherent in our society's version of masculinity and femininity. The most obvious cause for the minimum development of camp among lesbians was that masculinity was not and still isn't as incongruous as femininity in twentieth century American culture and therefore not as easily used as a basis for humor. Concomitantly although individual women might be able to sexually objectify a man, women has a group did not have the social power to objectify men in general. Therefore, such objectification could never be the basis for a genre of humor with wide appeal. But why didn't camp develop and thrive within the lesbian community itself? Because the structures of oppression were such that lesbians never really escaped from male supremacy. In lesbians' actual struggles in the bars or out on the streets, authority was always male. For queens to confront male authority was a confrontation between two men, on some level equals. The queen was playing with male privilege, which was his by birthright. For women to confront male authority is to break all traditional training and roles. Without a solid organization of all women, this requires taking on a male identity, beating men at their own game. Passive resistance or the fist is most appropriate f ~ Joan Nestle
Break Ups quotes by Joan Nestle
Anne is remarkably restrained in calibrating the amount of fear she will admit into the diary. The air raids, the break-ins, and the brutality reported by the helpers and glimpsed from the window appear at regular intervals, so that the reader can never fully relax. ~ Francine Prose
Break Ups quotes by Francine Prose
Science has always been my preoccupation and when you think a breakthrough is possible, it is terribly exciting. ~ James D. Watson
Break Ups quotes by James D. Watson
When you think your life is falling apart, it's usually falling together in disguise. ~ Charlotte Eriksson
Break Ups quotes by Charlotte Eriksson
THOU RIGHTEOUS AND HOLY SOVEREIGN,

In whose hand is my life
and whose are all my ways,
Keep me from fluttering about religion;
fix me firm in it,
for I am irresolute;
my decisions are smoke and vapour,
and I do not glorify thee,
or behave according to thy will;
Cut me not off before my thoughts grow to responses,
and the budding of my soul into full flower,
for thou art forbearing and good,
patient and kind.
Save me from myself,
from the artifices and deceits of sin,
from the treachery of my perverse nature,
from denying thy charge against my offences,
from a life of continual rebellion against thee,
from wrong principles, views, and ends;
for I know that all my thoughts,
affections, desires and pursuits
are alienated from thee.
I have acted as if I hated thee,
although thou art love itself;
have contrived to tempt thee to the uttermost,
to wear out thy patience;
have lived evilly in word and action.
Had I been a prince
I would long ago have crushed such a rebel;
Had I been a father
I would long since have rejected my child.
O, thou Father of my spirit,
thou King of my life,
cast me not into destruction,
drive me not from thy presence,
but wound my heart that it may be healed;
break it that thine own hand may make it whole. ~ Arthur Bennett
Break Ups quotes by Arthur Bennett
I came to New York and in only hours, New York did what it does to people: awakened the possibilities. Hope breaks out. ~ Philip Roth
Break Ups quotes by Philip Roth
Treasure Island is completed! The entire set of seventeen canvases without one break in my enthusiasm and spirit. Better in every quality than anything I ever did. ~ N. C. Wyeth
Break Ups quotes by N. C. Wyeth
Trust in God. Hold on to His love. Know that one day the dawn will break brightly and all shadows of mortality will flee. ~ Jeffrey R. Holland
Break Ups quotes by Jeffrey R. Holland
One of my biggest heroes and people I was fortunate enough to be around is David Bowie. I look at his career, and he always had the balls to break things that weren't broken, to step away from something and try something new, at risk of failing. ~ Trent Reznor
Break Ups quotes by Trent Reznor
Now no discourse, except it be of Love;
Now I can break my fast, dine, sup and sleep
Upon the very naked name of Love. ~ William Shakespeare
Break Ups quotes by William Shakespeare
I break all the rules and wear everything. Ruffles, ostrich feathers, fox coats. You look fat in fox anyway, so if you start fat, you only look a little fatter. ~ Totie Fields
Break Ups quotes by Totie Fields
What do you envision for your future, Anna?"
His abrupt question struck a nerve in me. It was the same question I'd been asking myself for months.
"I don't know," I said. "I used to know what I wanted, but not anymore."
He considered this, watching me with curiosity. "What did you want?"
I reached down and touched the water. "A family, mostly."
"And you no longer want that?"
I dried my hands on my jeans, trying not to get emotional. At one time, I wanted a loving husband and a houseful of kids more than anything in the world. But I'd let go of those dreams. I couldn't even adopt a child. What would the Dukes say if they caught me playing house?
"I can't have those things," I told him, still avoiding his stare. "And I'm tired of wanting things I can't have."
His voice was low when he responded. "Perhaps children are out of the question, but you could still have a husband, in secret."
My eyes flew up to his, and my skin sizzled as his words settled over me. I opened my mouth, but couldn't speak. His light eyes played chicken with mine, not backing down from his claim.
"It's too dangerous," I said.
"You are young." He didn't state it in a condescending way, but I still bristled. "Someday you may agree that there are dangers worth facing."
I swallowed, wishing my crazy heart would stop trying to break out of my rib cage. ~ Wendy Higgins
Break Ups quotes by Wendy Higgins
There's going to be a new code on Parliament Hill: bend the rules, you will be punished; break the law, you will be charged; abuse the public trust, you will go to prison, ~ Stephen Harper
Break Ups quotes by Stephen Harper
I told you to make weapons, Taim. Show me just how deadly they are. Disperse the Shaido. Break them. ~ Robert Jordan
Break Ups quotes by Robert Jordan
If the world gives you the blues, if you wake up in the middle of the night with waves of fear and senseless panic washing over you, I am your friend. If you're overcome by a desperation that makes your mouth open for a scream that never comes out but just freezes your face in mute despair, then you and I have something in common. If you can't understand them for the life of you, even though you've tried so hard, when that dislocation makes you feel like you're the only one of your species on the planet, I know I can confide in you. If this endless ghetto of lies and heart break, this life-long run of fences and flickering neon signs, night sweats and suicidal urges makes you feel like stopping, just stopping, like stopping breathing, wait. Wait. You don't have to tell me your name. You don't have to prove yourself to me. I accept you. If you're finding life to be the one thing that's trying to kill you, I want you to stay alive to rise with the sun and fight back. ~ Henry Rollins
Break Ups quotes by Henry Rollins
Music is going to break the way because music is in a spiritual thing of its own. It's like the waves of the ocean. You can't just cut out the perfect wave and take it home with you. ~ Jimi Hendrix
Break Ups quotes by Jimi Hendrix
Life has meaning and we grown-ups know what it is is the universal lie that everyone is supposed to believe. Once you become an adult and you realize that's not true, it's too late. ~ Muriel Barbery
Break Ups quotes by Muriel Barbery
Dad?" she said.

"Do you want some coffee?" he asked. "Are you okay?"

She shook her head. No.

"There are only so many hours you can sleep in a stranded vehicle." He glanced at the dashboard of her car, then at the untouched receipt--her receipt--sticking out of the machine a few feet away like a white tongue. "There's only so many times you can try to resurrect the dead. You can sit there all you want but you're not going anywhere. And, stuck as you are, you'll be forced to think about it, forced to wake up at some point, forced to depart or die here. ~ Angela Panayotopulos
Break Ups quotes by Angela Panayotopulos
As St. Paul points out, Christ never meant that we were to remain children in intelligence: on the contrary, He told us to be not only "as harmless as doves," but also "as wise as serpents." He wants a child's heart, but a grown-up's head. ~ C.S. Lewis
Break Ups quotes by C.S. Lewis
Oh love, you break on me like light! ~ Sophocles
Break Ups quotes by Sophocles
My world slowed and I closed my eyes. "I am going to give you my heart now," I whispered. "Please don't break it again. ~ Jessica Verday
Break Ups quotes by Jessica Verday
I don't consider myself a stand-up comedian. I consider myself a performer; a comic as opposed to stand-up comedian. Stand-up comedians stand there and do their bits; I break every rule in creation. If there's a rule that can be broken in stand-up, I'll do it. ~ J. B. Smoove
Break Ups quotes by J. B. Smoove
Why do so many young people literally die to belong to fraternities, sororities, and other college social organizations? The answer is complicated, but here is a starting point:
Ever since the medieval universities were founded, young people have done whatever it takes to gain acceptance, to break with their past lives, to achieve a sense of power, to carve out a society of their own that isn't quite what their tutors and teachers had in mind. In the United States, hazing and drinking have been endemic since colonial days. ~ Hank Nuwer

Break Ups quotes by Samuel R. Delany
Slow me down, Lord. Ease the pounding of my heart by the quieting of my mind. Steady my hurried pace with a vision of the eternal reach of time. Give me, amid the confusion of the day, the calmness of the everlasting hills. Break the tensions of my nerves and muscles with the soothing music of the singing streams that live in my memory. Teach me the art of taking minute vacations - of slowing down to look at a flower, to chat with a friend, to pat a dog, to smile at a child, to read a few lines from a good book. Slow me down, Lord, and inspire me to send my roots deep into the soil of life's enduring values, that I may grow toward my greater destiny. Remind me each day that the race is not always to the swift; that there is more to life than increasing its speed. Let me look upward to the towering oak and know that it grew great and strong because it grew slowly and well. ~ Chip Ingram

She needed a break." "A break? She needed a break? What does that mean?" "You know what that means, Charlie." "I do?" Charlie thought a moment, then rolled her eyes. "Oh, come on! Again?""You know how she is. But hey! At least she's still in Switzerland. We'll get there in no time." "But it's a mental hospital! Not a resort!""To her, all mental hospitals are resorts. Besides, it could be worse," Max said happily. "This could all be so much worse!" Charlie shook her head . "Dude, I seriously don't know how. ~ Shelly Laurenston
