It's no good. 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
- Helen Fielding, Bridget Jones DiaryI know exactly how that is. To love somebody who doesn't deserve it. Because they are all you have. Because any attention is better than no attention.
- Augusten Burroughs, Running with ScissorsYou've always been this possibility for me. This wonderful possibility, but it's just not right. And I'm so sorry. I need you to know that you're the man I want to want.
- Gilmore GirlsI might be stumbling a little on my way out, but I'm walking away... I'm moving on.
- UnknownNo love is bigger than the one which is given away - torn apart - and yet still, it remains.
- UnknownThrough my tears, I could hear her saying it was all going to be okay, and I know she believed this. But I was sure of something, too: it's a lot easier to be lost than found. It's the reason we're always searching, and rarely discovered-- so many locks, not enough keys.
- Sarah Dessen, Lock and KeyMemories were fine, but you couldn't touch them, smell them, or hold them. They were never exactly as the moment had been, and they faded with time.
- PS I Love YouWhen people can walk away from you, let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.
- UnknownKindly unspoken, you've shown your emotion
and silence speaks louder than words.
It's lucky I'm clever
if I didnt know better
i'd believe only that which I'd heard.
I know exactly how that is. To love somebody who doesn't deserve it. Because they are all you have. Because any attention is better than no attention.
- Augusten Burroughs, Running with ScissorsMy heart is on my sleeve and that's where it'll stay until the day you're brave enough to walk my way and tell me the things you were too stubborn to say.
- UnknownIf your presence doesnt make any difference, your absence wont either.
- UnknownBut I'll keep it simple for obvious reasons, and I'll say what I should and just hope you believe me, but it never gets easier. No, it never gets easier.
- Straylight RunShe's been hurt many times before this. You'd think it would be routine by now. You'd think she wouldn't let it get to her. But the truth is, she trusted you.
- UnknownParting is a joint decision, a person could not leave you if you were not willing to release them.
- Jodi Picoult, Second GlanceIt's better to leave it broken than hurt yourself trying to fix it.
- UnknownI understood wanting to forget. Things that made you remember cut like pieces of glass. A song, a memory, a blade of grass, a white dress, a dream, all of it as painful as the deepest wound.
- Alice Hoffman, Green AngelTo me it's no big surprise. I saw the emptiness in your eyes.
- UnknownBut it's so frustrating because I broke up with him 'cause I was sick of crying everyday, and fighting, like I didn't wanna cry anymore...but now I'm crying because he's not here to make me stop.
- The HillsIt's called falling in love for a reason - because, inevitably, you crashed at the bottom.
- Jodi Picoult, Second GlanceEven though you've never been in love with him.... it hurts when you feel your friendship pulling apart. Its hard to know that you don't mean as much to someone else as they mean to you.... and sometimes... no matter how much he means, no matter what you've been through, your life is just that... yours. And this is about you. Walking away isnt easy, but its something that you've got to do. So in that glance over your shoulder you take the snap shot in your mind, the one that you will always use when you remember him.... signature stained white tshirt... jeans with holes no matter how new they used to be.... half cocked smile with a slightly arragont glance. Tonight you'll feel like nothing has changed, but you know in the morning this guy will be gone, the one you've been missing.... will go missing once more.
- Arminda MeerIn a perverse way, I was glad for the stitches, glad it would show, that there would be scars. What was the point in just being hurt on the inside?
- Janet Finch, White OleaderYou'll never find the right person, if you can't let go of the wrong one.
- UnknownI wonder how many times we'll say goodbye before we actually let go.
- UnknownThere are things that we don't want to happen but have to accept, things we don't want to know but have to learn, and people we can't live without but have to let go.
- Unknown
