Break Up Quotes

“From midnight to 4: 00 AM is the loneliest time in the world. Because for those of us too sad to sleep, the only thing we have to look at is an empty bed, and the only thing we have to think of is every single person who didn't want to fill it tonight.”
― Lone Alaskan Gypsy

“...if true love breaks as easily as a delusion, on what can we rely? What will people pin their hopes on?" [Nilima]

"They'll have the sweet, intimate memories of a lost paradise, and beside it a sea of sorrow.... People looking on from outside think all is lost... What remains when everything is lost can be held in the palm, like a jewel. It can't be flaunted in a pageant, so the lookers-on are disappointed and jeer as they return home.." [Kamal]

"...Jewels are not meant for everybody, certainly not for the rabble. People who're only happy when decked out with gold and silver from top to toe won't understand the value of your tiny diamonds and gems. Those who want a lot feel secure only after tying knot upon knot. They put a price on something only by its weight and show and bulk. But it's useless to try and show the sunrise from a western window..[Nilima]”

“Something about you caught me by surprise
Though I always knew you’d be my demise.

“I didn’t want you to love me
Didn’t want you thinking of me
 
So I kept my distance
Tried to ignore your existence
I was blinded by my pride
With you, the Jekyll to my Hyde
 
But that’s where you found me
Baby, that’s where you unwound me
 
Loving you would be as easy as taking a breath
But to look at you, that’s a dance with death
 
I’d risk it all,
For you I would
You’d make me fall,
And fall I would
 
Loving you would be as easy as taking a breath
But to be by you, that’s a dance with death.

“I thought once was enough
You turned to me and called my bluff,
Maybe I should have walked away
but I couldn’t resist, I needed replay after replay
 
Loving you would be as easy as taking a breath
But to give you up, that’s a dance with death
 
We were over from the start
I never said I’d give my heart
So now it’s time for this to end
After all, a friend is just a friend
 
Loving you would be as easy as taking a breath
But to give you up, that’s a dance with death
 
So now it’s time for this to end
After all, a friend is just a friend. ”
― R.S. Grey, The Duet

they were written

Like you did mine yesterday”

“Yet what happened in fact? In the middle of the night John woke up and saw me sleeping beside him with no doubt a look of peace on my face, even of bliss, bliss is not unattainable in this world. He saw me—saw me as I was at that moment—took fright, hurriedly strapped the armour back over his heart, this time with chains and a double padlock, and stole out into the darkness.”
― J.M. Coetzee, Summertime

“You have certain ideas about what should happen... expectations. And if life is not moving that way, something is wrong. Nothing is going wrong! Life is going on its own, on,!y you have some fixed ideas. So drop those fixed ideas. Life is never going to follow you... you have to follow life. So if it is muddled, be muddled. What can you do?”
― Osho, Beloved of my heart: A Darshan diary

“You try to reason~leave messages, send gifts, make calls that aren’t returned. You rummage over the hows and whys and watch your faith go dry.

There’s no chance given to explain, to change, to convince, to know better. Just a bang and it’s done. The mind is fucked, life screwed, never the same.”
― Nitya Prakash

“Anxiously attached people find it very difficult to break up with their partners, and, when they do, they often leave open the option of getting back together. Accordingly, elevated anxiety does not predict relationship dissolution in longitudinal studies. While attachment anxiety causes tension between partners and lowers their romantic satisfaction, it also contributes to keep them together, thus acting as a stabilizing factor as fas as long-term investment is concerned. For this reason, a small to moderate amount of anxiety is probably not inconsistent with slow strategies, especially in women.”
― Marco del Giudice, Evolutionary Psychopathology: A Unified Approach

“I left of my own free will.

“The pain of a parting heart is a testament to the gravity of what once existed. Memories, both cherished and challenging, are the building blocks of our personal narrative. Instead of battling against their presence, let's navigate the waves of emotion, finding solace in the lessons and growth they carry.”
― Carson Anekeya

“Looking onto memories, maybe we should try to focus on what came from the relationship. You two joined paths for a particular reason. Maybe you walked through some of the hardest times together. Maybe you understood each other in a way no one else ever did. Whether you like it or not, they are a part of your story.”
― Carson Anekeya
