"The truth was, he now belonged only to my past, and it was time I begin to accept it, as much as it hurt to do so."

"It's always funny until someone gets hurt. Then it's just hilarious."

"I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love."

"Nothing else wounds so deeply and irreparably. Nothing else robs us of hope so much as being unloved by one we love"

"Life is a gamble. You can get hurt, but people die in plane crashes, lose their arms and legs in car accidents; people die every day. Same with fighters: some die, some get hurt, some go on. You just don't let yourself believe it will happen to you."

"Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence."

"You are not a victim. No matter what you have been through, you're still here. You may have been challenged, hurt, betrayed, beaten, and discouraged, but nothing has defeated you. You are still here! You have been delayed but not denied. You are not a victim, you are a victor. You have a history of victory."

"The surest way to hurt yourself is to give up on love, just because it didn’twork out the first time."

"I still haven't found the humor in getting hit by a cement truck. My knees still hurt when I think about it, so no jokes about that yet."

"Did I really want to stay on this road longer, knowing it was only going to end in devastation?"

"You cannot be with someone just because you don’t want to hurt him. You have your own happiness to think about."

"A deep sense of love and belonging is an irreducible need of all people. We are biologically, cognitively, physically, and spiritually wired to love, to be loved, and to belong. When those needs are not met, we don't function as we were meant to. We break. We fall apart. We numb. We ache. We hurt others. We get sick."

"Words are magic. They have the power to hurt and to heal, and even withholding them has the power to hurt and to heal. What else has as much potency in its absence and can do without doing? What I mean is, even when you don’t say anything, you are communicating as effectively as if you’d spoken."

"I'll sleep forever and meet you in my dreams; it'll hurt less anyway. But the pain of losing you was worth the pleasure of having you, and I rest in bed knowing you'll know for the rest of your life what you are missing.-Karen Quan and Jarod Kintz"

"You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,Love like you'll never be hurt,Sing like there's nobody listening,And live like it's heaven on earth."

"There is a thin line that separates laughter and pain, comedy and tragedy, humor and hurt."

"Yes, I understand why things had to happen this way. I understand his reason for causing me pain. But mere understanding does not chase away the hurt. It does not call upon the sun when dark clouds have loomed over me. Let the rain come then if it must come! And let it wash away the dust that hurt my eyes!"

"But even when I stop crying, even when we fall asleep and I'm nestled in his arms, this will leave another scar. No one will see it. No one will know. But it will be there. And eventually all of the scars will have scars, and that's all I'll be--one big scar of a love gone wrong."

"Listen to God with a broken heart. He is not only the doctor who mends it, but also the father who wipes away the tears."

"People who love themselves, don’t hurt other people. The more we hate ourselves, the more we want others to suffer."
