heartbreAKER

If you have recently broken up with a partner, you may find some comfort in the experiences of those who have suffered a broken heart before you, and the quotes they have found to express this pain.

Many great thinkers and writers, along with some of our most enduring celebrities, have offered their own broken heart quotes over the years. Here, I'll consider what you can take from a few of these classic quotes, if you are heartbroken but don't want your relationship to end.

Remember That Love is Surprising."Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does." (James Baldwin).When a relationship ends it's common for people to think everything is over, for good. But love is not that easily subdued. There may be chance for love to re-emerge, renewed, because it doesn't always end when we think it does. There's always hope that love hasn't ended, if it continues to exist, somewhere, in both of your hearts.

Don't Be Emotionally Stubborn
"To cheat oneself out of love is the most terrible deception." (Soren Kierkegaard)
If you are too emotionally stubborn you'll cheat yourself out of the opportunity for love. If you want to get back together with someone, you'll need a flexible approach, with empathy for their thoughts and feelings. Anything else will be the cause of many regrets.
