English quotes about heartbreak (21–30)
True love is like ghosts, which everybody talks about and few have seen.La Rochefoucauld
He is said to have been a French nobleman and a moralist writer with a keen eye for human nature.
The saying, “Just as there is no one in this world who has seen a ghost, there is no such thing as true love,” treats love as one of those plausibly told things that can’t be trusted.
Indeed, I myself have never seen true love either…
In a moment everything is altered. The brooding self disappears and, when thinking of the same matter, it now seems less important.Iris Murdoch
Iris Murdoch was an Irish writer, philosopher, and poet, and her novels are full of intensity and strangeness, black humor, and unpredictable plot twists.
“There is a time when everything changes.
What you have been lamenting suddenly seems trivial.” These words seem to describe the moment when one finally breaks free from the sorrow of a broken heart and begins to feel new hope.
Don’t waste your love on somebody, who doesn’t value it.William Shakespeare
Shakespeare, an English playwright and poet who is also a leading figure of Elizabethan drama, left many famous sayings.
Among them, the words “Don’t waste your love on someone who doesn’t value it” seem to carry the wish that you have confidence in yourself, let go of trivial romances and heartbreaks, and live for a wonderful love.
To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering, one must not love.Woody Allen
Woody Allen is an American film director, actor, screenwriter, novelist, and clarinetist.
His words, “Love is painful—if you don’t like that, then don’t fall in love,” seem to suggest that love is about enjoying it all, including the pain and heartbreak.
Indeed, perhaps the pain, like a sprinkle of salt on watermelon, brings out the sweetness of romance.
You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.Eleanor Roosevelt
Words of Eleanor, wife of Franklin D.
Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States, and a writer.
“You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.
You say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror; I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”
Love is the hardest havit to break, and the most difficult to satisfy.Drew Barrymore
Drew Barrymore, an American actress, was a child star, but due to conflicts with her mother and issues at home and school, her personal life became tumultuous, and even as an adult she repeatedly married and divorced.
Perhaps starved for love, she once said, “Love is the hardest habit to break and the most difficult to be satisfied with.” It would be nice if we could turn love into a good habit.
Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.Kahlil Gibran
Kahlil Gibran was a poet, painter, and sculptor from Lebanon.
He left behind poems and paintings that sing of a grand, cosmic vision rooted in religion and philosophy, and his style influenced various poets and politicians in later generations.
“Love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.” Perhaps these words apply not only to romantic love, but to every parting we experience in life.
