I restore myself when I’m alone.Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn Monroe once said, “Only when I’m alone do I return to myself.” Human beings are, by nature, meant to live on their own.
Think of parting as a good opportunity and try to reclaim your true self.
If you do, your life from here on will surely go well.
Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.Dr. Seuss
“Don’t cry because it’s over.
Smile because it happened,” Dr.
Seuss left us.
Even if you part ways, it doesn’t mean it’s “over”; it means that parting “happened.” It’s not that something ended, but that the next something has begun.
Experience is not what happens to you. It is what you do with what happens to you.Aldous Huxley
A famous quote by Aldous Huxley meaning, “Experience is not what happens to you; it’s what you do with what happens to you.” In other words, rather than letting a parting itself become a sad experience, we should turn our actions after the parting into something we can be proud of.
It’s a phrase that gives a gentle push when you’re feeling down.
Your life would be very empty if you had nothing to regret.Van Gogh
These words mean that “a life without regrets can be called an empty life.” Life inevitably involves failure.
A life without the regret of failure might be the same as a life in which you never tried anything.
The pain you feel from parting exists precisely because you have experienced love.
What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love.Dostoevsky
“What is hell? It is the suffering of being unable to love.” These are Dostoevsky’s words.
When we experience heartbreak, we often think we never want to go through such pain again, but not loving anyone is also a dull, empty way to live.
After a little rest, it would be nice to fall in love again.

Time passes, and little by little everything that we have spoken in falsehood becomes true.Marcel Proust
The famous saying, “Time passes.
And little by little, the lies we have told become the truth,” is attributed to the French writer Marcel Proust.
Known for his monumental work In Search of Lost Time, Proust consistently offers sharp insights into the flow of time and the human psyche throughout the work.
Indeed, after a parting, even painful memories tend to transform into fond ones.
The trouble is not in dying for a friend,but in finding a friend worth dying for.Mark Twain
The quote, “What’s hard is not dying for a friend.
It’s finding a friend worth dying for,” was left by the American writer Mark Twain.
Twain, who wrote many works centered on friendship such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, lived in a difficult era in America when social classes were clearly divided.
It’s a quintessential Mark Twain quote that emphasizes the importance of friendship over the parting that death brings.
