For Valentine's Day... Sad love quotes
So I know Valentine's Day is not a happy time for everyone... so here are some quotes that kind of express that love is absent/sucks. Here are some of my favorites for that type of emotion i've grown to know far too much of over the years. "Have you ever been in love? Horrible, isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses. You build up this whole armor, for years, so nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They don't ask for it. They do something dumb one day like kiss you, or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so a simple phrase like 'maybe we should just be friends' or 'how very perceptive' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love." - Sandman: The Kindly Ones by Neil Gaman "Love is the most dangerous craving of all, if you ask me. it turns us into people we aren’t, it makes us feel like hell, and makes us walk on water. it ruins us for anything else." -Jodi Picoult, Vanishing Acts "I’ve closed my heart down, so many seasons. I didn’t want to hurt again, I didn’t want to try, so I turned myself to ice and stone, said I don’t need anyone, and nobody else would ever make me cry." - beth nielsen chapman, "maybe it's love” "I have high hopes that this year will be the year the dumb girl in me finally dies. she is long overdue for a painless, or even a painful, death. i'm so sick of listening to her try to convince me of things i know don't make any sense: that the plots of romantic movies are plausible; that men who have cheated repeatedly might suddenly decide to turn over a new leaf; that guys who are *******s might turn out to be more considerate in time." - it's my f---ing birthday by merrill markoe "Maybe there isn't a Mr. Right. Maybe there's a Mr. Good Enough." "People keep telling me that maybe it'd be better if we got back together. Maybe it would be. I know I would be so happy if we did. But my endings never end happy anymore. Because in my life, there's no such thing as forever, and there's no such thing as love, or happily-ever-after. There's attraction and there's stirred emotion, but no true love, and no forever. Perhaps he did love me, and maybe everything he said, he really meant. But however it all goes down, it all comes down to the fact that 'forever' doesn't exist. And true love it actually works in the reverse. you must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want." - Margaret Young “i should have never pushed him. he should have never pushed me away. when you're friends with someone for so long you think to yourself that you mean something to that person. even if it's not true.. you convince yourself it is. it's only the realization that you don't that hurts. it's that day when you wake up and realize that even though you had spent more than half of your lifetime loving one person... you were nothing more than a person passing through in theirs. some people never get attached. it's unfortunate that he was one of those people. but i'm glad i'm not. i'm glad i've been able to open up and love people--let people in. i'm really glad. because if i hadn't... i wouldn't know as much about myself now.” – JoAnne Golden “’do you believe in happy endings Bean?’ ‘Yeah yeah I think so.. How about you?’ ’I do. Isn’t that funny? I still do with all my heart… even when the girl doesn’t get the guy in the end.” - little black book “because quite frankly I’m sick of falling madly in love and spending twenty-four hours a day thinking about them and crying with misery when they don’t phone. I’m sick of being the kind of girl who, when they say jump, asks how high. I’m sick of always, always being the one to fall in love and get hurt. And maybe this is how it should be, getting on with my life and not putting all my energies into a relationship." - Mr. Maybe by Jane Green |
