English heartbreak quotes (1–10)
Healing yourself is connected with healing others.Yoko Ono
Yoko Ono, the beloved wife of John Lennon, the leader of the Beatles, was also a contemporary artist.
Her words were: “Healing yourself is also healing others.” When your heart is so full of hurt that you feel like crying, I want you to put yourself first above all else.
If you do, the people around you will naturally be healed by you.
That’s the meaning I take from her message.
One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf was a British novelist, critic, and publisher, and one of the leading writers of twentieth-century modernist literature.
“If you don’t eat properly, you can’t think, love, or sleep properly.” When you’re heartbroken, many people find they can’t think, eat, or sleep.
That’s precisely when you might try going out for a meal with friends and eating well.
One makes mistakes; that is life.But it is never a mistake to have loved.Romain Rolland
“Anyone can make mistakes.
That’s life.
But loving was never a mistake.” These are the words of the French writer Romain Rolland, who upheld idealistic humanism, pacifism, and anti-fascism, tirelessly decrying war to the world and cultivating many international friendships.
His words convey a strong, forward-looking spirit toward love and romance.
Men marry women with the hope they will never change. Women marry men with the hope they will change. Invariably they are both disappointed.Albert Einstein
He was a German theoretical physicist and was married twice.
Perhaps this remark comes from that experience: “In marriage, men want women to change, and women want men to stay the same.
These desires inevitably lead to mutual disappointment.”
There is no remedy for love but to love more.Henry David Thoreau
Henry David Thoreau, an American scholar and thinker, never held a steady job throughout his life.
He built a log cabin in the woods on the shore of Walden Pond and lived a self-sufficient life for two years and two months—leading a life that cherished freedom and nature.
“There is no remedy for love but to love more.” Even he, one wonders, did his heart ache over love?
The hottest love has the coldest end.Socrates
Socrates, the ancient Greek philosopher, had a wife known as the shrewish Xanthippe.
His saying, “A passionate love meets a cold end,” might well be grounded in his own experience.
Although he was a great philosopher, he also comes across as very human.
Indeed, when something burns too hot, it may cool all the faster.
The past can’t hurt you anymore, not unless you let it.Alan Moore
Alan Moore is a British comic book writer, best known for authoring American comics and graphic novels such as From Hell.
The phrase, “The past can’t hurt you anymore, not unless you let it,” seems to tell us both the futility of carrying past wounds and the hope that those wounds can heal.
