“I do think that men can forget a lost love quickly. I know that women would find it much harder.”
― Jane Austen, Persuasion

“It's a certain tragedy when agony and resentment are all you have left connecting you to someone you once loved.”
― J.S.B. Morse, Now and at the Hour of Our Death

“Your voice has haunted every inch of my soul since the last time I heard it…my world had been so dark, void of sound and then I heard you sing again—and it exploded. Everything came crashing down on me that I’d been holding in, and then I was just a mess. But I wasn’t suffering in silence anymore. I was suffering from the impenetrable sound of your voice on repeat in my head.”
― Cassandra Giovanni, Finding Perfection

“I think anyone who opened their heart enough to love without restraint and subsequently were devastated by loss knows that in that moment you are forever changed; a apart of you is no longer whole. Some will never again love with that level of abandon where life is perceived as innocent and the threat of loss seems implausible. Love and loss, therefore, are linked.”
― Donna Lynn Hope
