Heartbreak Quotes

“They look at you odd. They say why don’t you do something? I HAVE done everything possible. It does occupy your mind, but like anything painful, you push it to one side. It’s in the bottom compartment; it comes out every so often. If I knew he was dead, I could grieve.”

“She asked me for some advice regarding Mark’s financial affairs. It’s a very common problem for the families of missing persons – what happens when someone disappears? How long do you wait before you clean out their flat? Do you reregister their car? Who keeps paying the car payments? How do you access their bank account? What about rent and mortgage? When do you tell their employer you don’t think they’re coming back to their job?”

“‘Having a missing brother has made me far more compassionate. It’s really sad that we haven’t had an answer, that we don’t know, but there’s still that vestige of hope, if you haven’t heard anything. But it’s a painful bit of luggage to carry around with you.’.”

“My brother, when he went to sleep, always put his shoes beside the swag, and when he got up in the morning the first thing he did was put his shoes on. He did that ever since he was little. And he never went anywhere without his hat. So, for him to walk off up the road without his hat or his shoes, that’s just straight-up lies. No. I know that for a fact.”

“I didn’t yet realize it was okay to be broken, that it was even, perhaps, essential to becoming a more porous animal capable of far more real love than I had known was possible. It would still take some time for me to learn that our flaws are not the problem; rather, it is the failure to forgive them—in ourselves and in others—that trips up our hearts.”

“I began drowning that day, wishing for a hand from above that would pull me out of this ocean. But the hands came from beneath. Those hands pulled me to the middle of the ocean and ripped my chest apart. They replaced everything that existed in there so that I could breathe inside that ocean. So that I could survive. But soon, my prayers were answered. The hands began arriving from above, too, to pull me out. That's when I began cutting them down, one after the other. I began destroying the only thing I had prayed and wished for since that day.”

“Connell is silent again. He leans down and kisses her on the forehead. I would never hurt you, okay? he says. Never. She nods and says nothing. You make me really happy, he says. His hand moves over her hair and he adds: I love you. I’m not just saying that, I really do. Her eyes fill up with tears again and she closes them. Even in memory she will find this moment unbearably intense, and she’s aware of this now, while it’s happening. She has never believed herself fit to be loved by any person. But now she has a new life, of which this is the first moment, and even after many years have passed, she will still think: Yes, that was it, the beginning of my life.”

“يا قاتلي ولهاً، أحييتني تيها كلّ الأغاني سدىً، إن لم تكن فيها جراح حبك تذكارٌ على جسدي إن كان لي فيك خيرٌ، لا تداويها ونار حبّك في روحي مقدّسةٌ ما أكثر الدمع لكن ليس يطفيها خذني إليك، وشكّلني... وكن صفتي أحقّ أنت بروحي أن تسمّيها ما نمت إلا لأني قد أراك غداً ما قمتُ إلا لشمسٍ أنت تضويها وما تركتُ صلاةً في هواك جوىً فأنت قِبلةُ قلبي إذ أصليها... ضعي شفتيك قليلاً على جسدي لا يهمّ إذا نبت الورد أو جرحتني السيوفُ... أنا قلق الانتظار، أنا نجمة في المدار أنا كعبةٌ طاف حولي التذكّر والاحتضار، أنا عاشق حول قلبي أطوفُ.. لقد آن أن تنزلي في دمي، آن أن تملئيني اضطرابا.. فكوني معي، جسداً لا سرابا، وكوني معي طعنة لا عذابا، أنا لا أمانع أن تقتليني جنوناً، وأن تجرحيني عتابا... أخاف المسافة لا السيف... أغفر إن تقتليني، ولكن.. سألتك لا تقتليني غيابا...”

“For months, maybe years, everytime you see her you will want to kiss her. When you do you will expect pain to come, like the old dog you could never quite put down, but there will be none. You will remind yourself, she will remind you, you will remind each other that this is for the best. That you are physically incapable of loving one another. And in those moments you will be lying. Your heart screaming, "I can! I can! I can!" But you will stay silent because of her, because she asked for this, because she filled something in you thats still full even though she's gone.”

“When she said she loved me her mouth was a straight line. She told me that I was taking up too much of her time. She told me that she shouldn't have let me get so attached to her; that this whole thing was a mistake, but... How can it be a mistake that I don't have to wash my hands after I touched her? Love is not a mistake, and it's killing me that she can run away from this and I just can't. I can't go out and find someone new because I always think of her. Usually, when I obsess over things, I see germs sneaking into my skin. And she was the first beautiful thing I ever got stuck on.”

“Vaishusmriti (The Sonnet) Those few afternoon trips back from uni, With her head on my shoulder, were utopia. My stomach was bursting with butterflies, But my lips could barely utter a word. My shirt got seeped with her intoxicating scent, But her heart was posted to another man's mail. Yet how can you begrudge someone you once loved! It's okay to lose your heart to the wrong people. Hadn't she rejected me, I'd have ended up yet another nobody in the sea of engineers. When life shatters you to a million pieces, Get up and give back life some middle finger. If you must love, love without any agenda, If they love you back, your heart grows softer, If they break you, your heart grows stronger, Either way, in act of love there is no failure.”

“فكّر بها… هي سوف تعرف كلما فكرت بامرأةٍ سواها… فكّر بها… هي تستحق الشمس تسطع في سماها! فكّر بها، من بين كل العاشقات تراك أنت، ومن شقوق المفردات تشمّ رائحة النساء الأخريات… وليس يؤلمها ارتحالك، إنما تبكي عليك اذا نزلت لغيرها عن مستواها…”

“لقد حلّ فينا الشقاء وحلّ الجفاء وحلّ الوباءْ... فيا حبّ يا أجمل الهفوات البريئة يا آخر الصلوات ويا أوّل الأنبياءْ... بردنا كأيّ علاقة حبّ... كأيّ حبيبين حين يجيء الشتاءْ وليس لنا غير دفئك يا حبُّ، حنّ علينا قليلاً بحقّ السماء!”
