hoarding quotes, for when I need 'em
"There comes a time in everyone's life where they love someone so much that it literally hurts... but what hurts even more is that no matter how much you love someone, you can never, ever love enough for the both of you. It's when you realize that you're in a situation where you've got to carry all the love that it's not really love anymore... and it's time to say goodbye."
"Love... is the rug they pull out from under you. Love is Lucy always lifting the football at the last second so that Charlie Brown falls on his ass. Love is something that everytime you believe in it, it goes away. Love is for suckers, and I'm not going to be a sucker ever again."
"Perhaps we give the best of our hearts, uncritically--to those who hardly think of us in return."
~T.H. White
"I don't know how many times people have told me to get over him, and to get over everything that has happened. People don't realize how much it hurts to hear that. How can I just forget about him at the snap of my finger? It's a lot harder than it seems to get over a guy who has been there for you as well as made you cry. When you think that you love him, how could you turn against every thing that you have acted upon, and to give up hope on everything that you had? I wonder if there's a secret to getting over someone quickly and painlessly, that maybe somewhere, someone knows what to do. Think about that time when you thought the world of a special person in your life, who you eventually had to move on from... think about how it felt when someone told you to forget about that person, and maybe you'll remember how hard and hurtful it is. Always think twice before telling someone, 'Hey, get over it,' because sometime, someone's going to say that to you and you won't know which is worse, having someone break your heart, or someone telling you it was worthless."

"I think I'll go anti-love. Really, who needs it? Butterflies in the tummy and hearts skipping beats. That can't be safe."
"True love? I used to believe it existed, but when you've had your heart torn and thrown on the floor, you just don't care anymore."
"How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand there is no going back? There are some things time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep... and take hold."
~Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
"We could only wonder how she would be able to dust herself off and start all over again. And yet, we knew we couldn't bear for her not to, and felt ever more optimistic that after all her struggles, she would someday meet her equal, a man with the same charisma, love of life, and humanity that she possessed. In the meantime, she'd have her friends. And the knowledge that she deserved the world."
