Broken Hearts

A collection of quotes about broken hearts, with a video clip of What Can I Do from The Corrs to make it perfect. Just another pointless post, to give another proof that my brain has completely stopped functioning amidst this overwhelming study (and no study) loads. Play the clip to make it even more dramatic while you are reading the quotes :D.

A broken heart isn't so much the loss of a person as it is the loss of your dreams with that person.
-- Diane Les Becquets (Love, Cajun Style)

Behind every girl's face is a broken heart that a stupid boy broke.
-- Saraya Dodd

A broken heart is like a broken mirror. It's best to leave it broken than hurt yourself trying to fix it.
-- Unknown

The saddest part of a broken heart
Isn't the ending so much as the start
The tragedy starts from the very first spark
Losing your mind for the sake of your heart
-- Raymond E. Feist

When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The waking up is the hardest part
You roll outta bed and down on your knees
And for the moment you can hardly breathe
-- John Mayer

This... living with a broken heart is living half dead, and that doesn't mean you're half alive. It means you're half dead. And... that's no way to live.
-- Charles Martin (The Mountain Between Us)

-- Mike Coe (Flight to Paradise)

A broken heart bleeds tears.
-- Steve Maraboli ( Life, the Truth, and Being Free)

I'm just trying to outrun a broken heart, which is nothing to sneeze at , for a broken heart breaks a person.

Broken hearts and dirty windows
Make life difficult to see
That's why last night and this morning
Always look the same to me

The six element of her Fail Proof Broken-Heart Curing Treatment: Vitamin E, get much sleep, drink much water, travel to a place far away from the person you loved, meditate and teach your heart that this is destiny.

There are those hearts, reader, that never mend again once they are broken. Or if they do mend, they heal themselves in a crooked and lopsided way, as if sewn together by a careless craftsman. Such was the fate of Chiaroscuro. His heart was broken. Picking up the spoon and placing it on his head, speaking of revenge, these things helped him to put his heart together again. But it was, alas, put together wrong.
-- Kate DiCamillo (The Tale of Desperaux)

You will lose someone you can't live without, and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn't seal back up. And you come through. It's like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly--that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.
-- Anne Lamott

Home is where the heart is, I thought now, gathering myself together in Betty's Luncheonette. I had no heart any more, it had been broken; or not broken, it simply wasn't there any more. It had been scooped neatly out of me like the yolk from a hard-boiled egg, leaving the rest of me bloodless and congealed and hollow. I'm heartless, I thought. Therefore I'm homeless.
-- Margaret Atwood (The Blind Assassin)

If someone has just hurt you or broken your heart, if someone has just died, all the grace you need is there-waiting for you to receive it. As long as we are pulled inward-despair and self attention, we aren't free to reach for God's grace. If we mean to leave ourselves alone, we must keep a hand free.
-- Eugenia Price
