Here is a selection of breakup quotes that I am building – I’d love to add them. Sometimes other people can put into words how we feel – so much better than we can. We look for quotes that describe our feelings when we are sad, when we are angry, when we want motivation or we feel bitter – all the feelings we encounter when breaking up.
This is a selection of witty, emotional and clever quotes from everyone from William Shakespeare to Bette Davis.
Breaking up quotes

Are we like couples you see in restaurants? Are we the dining dead?

could I be sleeping with this peculiar man … Surely only true love
could justify my lack of taste.

Sad breakup quotes
What wound did ever heal but by degrees.
William Shakespeare
No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear. I am not
afraid, but the sensation is like being afraid. The same fluttering in
the stomach, the same restlessness, the yawning. I keep on swallowing.
C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed

Starting over quotes
If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for
you. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing
we call “failure” is not the falling down, but the staying down. Mary Pickford
What kind of fear is it? Is it fear of poverty, of loneliness, of
rejection? Then use common sense. Don’t let the fear get infected.
Often we burn 70 percent of our emotional energy on what we fear might
happen (90 percent of which won’t happen). By devoting our energy to
our other emotions, we will heal naturally.
Interview with Za Rinpoche, the Dharma King, Tibetan Spiritual Leader
from the book: What should I do with my life?
Quotes with attitude

time to time to give a stupid or misinformed beholder a black eye.
