“The heart is the only broken instrument that works.”
T. E. Kalem
“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.”
C.S. Lewis
“The pain that we cause is the cause of our pain.”
Leif Ericsson Leo Veness
“There is a thing, like a bird, weak and fluttering within my chest, i cradle it and care for it as anyone should an injured thing, yet, i silently pray for it's death.”
Gabriel Swann
“after a break-up people always claim that things will get better, and in fact they do... but not because we in fact ARE better but that the pain, has beaten every last ounce of feeling from us. after we are wasted away, because food and drink seems to be like sand being choked down, and sleep is no comfort because you know you'll dream of them, and have to wake with knowing they'll not be there. after all this is accepted, we are what people claim is 'better'”
“Work like you don't need the money, love like your heart has never been broken, and dance like no one is watching”
Aurora Greenway
“If you love someone put their name in a circle not a heart, because a heart can be broken, a circle goes on forever.”
Brian Littrell
