Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.

When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.

Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go.

We need never be ashamed of our tears.

‘Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

Blessed are the hearts that can bend; they shall never be broken.

The heart will break, but broken live on.

There is no remedy for love but to love more.

Patience is key for getting over a breakup. That, and trailing off your interaction after the breakup.

Love is the only one that remains after lovers have gone separate ways.

The hardest part about breaking up is the next day, opening your notebook only you see I LOVE YOU scribbled all over.

After a breakup, it takes a couple weeks for the fog to settle, but it’s always a period of self-priority and growth. Life presents you with so many decisions. A lot of times, they’re right in front of your face and they’re really difficult, but we must make them.

I realize I waited too long but please don’t move on.

Cry me a river, build a bridge, and get over it.

The most important things to say are those which often I did not think necessary for me to say – because they were too obvious.

Everybody has bad relationships and, at the end of the day, they are just a great way to set yourself up for a good relationship.

It changes you a little bit every time you either break someone’s heart or get your heart broken.

I just always have to cry out a breakup, and then I can make peace with it pretty quickly.

Breakups are a horrible thing for almost everybody I know. For someone who is a love addict, it’s debilitating.

Men are a luxury, not a necessity.

When you breakup, your whole identity is shattered. It’s like death.

If you can’t help it, don’t think about it

Every breakup is an opportunity to do it right the next time.

No matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn’t stop for your grief.

I think you still love me, but we can’t escape the fact that I’m not enough for you. I knew this was going to happen. So I’m not blaming you for falling in love with another woman. I’m not angry, either. I should be, but I’m not. I just feel pain. A lot of pain. I thought I could imagine how much this would hurt, but I was wrong.

Passion is always a mystery and unaccountable, and unfortunately there is no doubt that life does not spare its purest children; often it is just the most deserving people who cannot help loving those that destroy them.

We always believe our first love is our last, and our last love our first.

If two people love each other there can be no happy end to it.

The best way to mend a broken heart is time and girlfriends.

The time it takes to feel better about a breakup is directly proportional to the time it takes to feel better about yourself.

Those who don’t know how to weep with their whole heart, don’t know how to laugh either.

Nothing erases unpleasant thoughts more effectively than conscious concentration on pleasant ones.

New clothes are a great way to deal after a breakup. A good mix CD also helps you get through it and… you know, 72 hours of ice cream.

Just because a relationship ends, it doesn’t mean it’s not worth having.

That’s why I called it Dangerously In Love. It’s basically all of the steps in a relationship from when you first meet a guy to realizing you’re interested to dancing with him the first night to thinking that you’re in love to realizing that you’re now a little open to making love to breaking up to having to love yourself after the breakup. All of that. A celebration of love.
