quotes that inspire you about break ups and moving on

[moo]

then there's always the fine wisdom of Moo:

 

 

Aww shucks.

[Trialbyfire]

Aww shucks.

Well, it's really a piece of literary genius, unrivaled on LS. I particularly enjoyed these two excerpts:

 

You have sores all over you personality

The doctor slapped your face because it was so ugly and stamped "BIO HAZARD" on your forehead.

[lizzylizliz]

I love it. Pure genius. That made me smile so much

 

The lyrics to 'Stronger' by Britney Spears are pretty good. Personally, I hate poppy crap music. But it inspires me a lot...stronger than yesterday...now its nothing but my way!!!!

[Meaplus3]

I think this one just about sums it up for me!

 

 

"If you love something set it free; if it returns its yours forever, if not it was never meant to be".

[georgia girl]

I'm worth more.

 

To me, that brings it into focus. Whenever I want to settle for less and I think about going back to him on his terms - just friends with benefits - and hoping it grows back into the relationship we once had, I remember this.

[utterer of lies]

anyone have any good quotes? or song lyrics that empower u?

 

 

I like this one: "Die, B!tch!"

[Woggle]

Any woman that is worth being sad and depressed over would never make you sad or depressed in the first place.

 

Women will love and respect you as much as you love and respect yourself

 

The less you try to please a woman the more pleased she will be with you

[utterer of lies]

Women will love and respect you as much as you love and respect yourself

I agree with the second and third, but the first one is blatantly wrong.

[Cora]

“I’

m

going to smile and make you think I’

m

happy, I’

m

going to laugh,

so

you don’t see me cry, I’

m

going to let you go in style, and even if it kills me – I’

m

going to smile.”

"After awhile you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand

and chaining a soul, and you learn that love doesn't mean possession and

company doesn't mean security. And you begin to learn that kisses aren't

contracts and presents aren't promises and you begin to accept your defeatswith your head up and your eyes ahead with the grace of an adult, not the griefof a child. And you learn to build your roads today, because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans, and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.After awhile you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much so you plantyour own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bringyou flowers. And you learn that you really can endure, that you really are strong, and you really do have worth."

[EmptyPromises]

Please believe that things are good with me, and even when they're not,

they will be soon enough. And I will believe the same about you

 

 

Your destiny is not tied to the people who walked away

 

 

“Look at life through the windshield, not the rear-view mirror” - Byrd Baggett

 

you had me falling for you honey and it never would have gone away,

gyou used to shine so bright but I watched all of it fade... - Taylor Swift your not sorry

 

taylor swift - you're not sorry, picture to burn, white horse, should've said no, forever and always.... all great songs

[WTRanger]

In baseball and sex, cliches are usually true. Pitching beats hitting, and people always want to be loved by anyone who doesn't seem to care.

Cora,

 

I beleive your quote is by Lonestar, a country Music band.

 

I love that quote too, but I think you have a it a little wrong.

 

"Kiss me once for the good times, baby

Kiss me twice for goodbye

You cant help how you dont feel

And it doesnt matter why

Give me a chance to bow out gracefully

cause thats how I want you to remember me

Im gonna smile

cause I want to make you happy

Laugh, so you cant see me cry

Im gonna let you go in style

And even if it kills me

Im gonna smile

 

Sorry for being a brat

Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the highroad to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction. ~ Margaret Thatcher

 

In other words, stick to your guns, if it's for something worthwhile, like walking away and moving on.

[on edge]

Woo! Sufjan Stevens kicks ass.

 

He's from Michigan, though.

 

My ex is from Michigan.

 

This makes me have resentment towards people from and in Michigan (not fair, I know, but I can't help it). And it makes it hard to listen to his music. Is this normal?

 

Then listen to Illinois instead. Come on feel the Illinoise.

 

My ex had crappy taste in music. She made me listen to Blink 182 all the time. (Reason #43 why we broke up)

 

And my break-up quote: "I am past you."

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

[caramel c]

from the Bible: "It came to pass."

 

meaning, even crappy stuff doesn't last forever, simply because it's not meant to!

 

Amen to that.

[Losing Faith]

"When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better."

 

 

No one falls in love by choice, it is by CHANCE.

No one stays in love by chance, it is by WORK.

And no one falls out of love by chance, it is by CHOICE!

 

 

But my latest favorite quote (or advise) comes from BCCA...

If they wanted to be with you, whatever your problems were - they would have wanted to work them out with you, not leave you!!!! and...

No one walks away from someone they see value in.

:DAl Pacino's Inch By Inch speech from Any Given Sunday

 

I don't know what to say really.

Three minutes

to the biggest battle of our professional lives

all comes down to today.

Either

we heal

as a team

or we are going to crumble.

Inch by inch

play by play

till we're finished.

We are in hell right now, gentlemen

believe me

and

we can stay here

and get the **** kicked out of us

or

we can fight our way

back into the light.

We can climb out of hell.

One inch, at a time.

 

Now I can't do it for you.

I'm too old.

I look around and I see these young faces

and I think

I mean

I made every wrong choice a middle age man could make.

I uh....

I pissed away all my money

believe it or not.

I chased off

anyone who has ever loved me.

And lately,

I can't even stand the face I see in the mirror.

 

You know when you get old in life

things get taken from you.

That's, that's part of life.

But,

you only learn that when you start losing stuff.

You find out that life is just a game of inches.

So is football.

Because in either game

life or football

the margin for error is so small.

I mean

one half step too late or to early

you don't quite make it.

One half second too slow or too fast

and you don't quite catch it.

The inches we need are everywhere around us.

They are in ever break of the game

every minute, every second.

 

On this team, we fight for that inch

On this team, we tear ourselves, and everyone around us

to pieces for that inch.

We CLAW with our finger nails for that inch.

Cause we know

when we add up all those inches

that's going to make the ****ing difference

between WINNING and LOSING

between LIVING and DYING.

 

I'll tell you this

in any fight

it is the guy who is willing to die

who is going to win that inch.

And I know

if I am going to have any life anymore

it is because, I am still willing to fight, and die for that inch

because that is what LIVING is.

The six inches in front of your face.

 

Now I can't make you do it.

You gotta look at the guy next to you.

Look into his eyes.

Now I think you are going to see a guy who will go that inch with you.

You are going to see a guy

who will sacrifice himself for this team

because he knows when it comes down to it,

you are gonna do the same thing for him.

 

That's a team, gentlemen

and either we heal now, as a team,

or we will die as individuals.

That's football guys.

That's all it is.

Now, whattaya gonna do?

[EmptyPromises]

Girls are taught a lot of stuff growing up. If a guy punches you he likes you. Never try to trim your own bangs and someday you will meet a wonderful guy and get your very own happy ending. Every movie we see, Every story we're told implores us to wait for it, the third act twist, the unexpected declaration of love, the exception to the rule. But sometimes we're so focused on finding our happy ending we don't learn how to read the signs. How to tell from the ones who want us and the ones who don't, the ones who will stay and the ones who will leave. And maybe a happy ending doesn't include a guy, maybe... it's you, on your own, picking up the pieces and starting over, freeing yourself up for something better in the future. Maybe the happy ending is... just... moving on. Or maybe the happy ending is this, knowing after all the unreturned phone calls, broken-hearts, through the blunders and misread signals, through all the pain and embarrassment you never gave up hope.

 

-The Movie Hes just Not That Into You

[Ilovecake]

Someone told me a simple fact the other day that I can’t believe I didn’t think of.

 

You can’t love someone for their potential of who they might become you have to love them for who they are at the moment.

 

It helped me realize that I’ve been pining for a person I actually never met; he’s never going to be the person I want him to be. There is no more “ I want him back so bad but he would have to change a lot of things.” Well then it wouldn’t really be him anymore, in reality I want someone else with a few of my ex’s good qualities.

[EricaH329]

I have two, both from the book "How to Survive the Loss of a Love":

 

You were the best of loves,

you were the worst of loves...

 

and you left behind several

unintended gifts:

 

Through you I re-examined my

need (uh, desire?) for one significant

other to share my life.

 

You commanded in me an unwilling

(but probably much-needed)

re-evaluation of self, behavior patterns,

relationshipping, & a corresponding

change in attitudes;

i.e. growth.

 

I'm nicer to people.

 

I'm more in touch with my feelings,

the things and persons around me, life.

 

And, of course, a scattering of poems

(the best of poems, the worst of poems)

that never would have happened

without your disruptions.

 

Thanks.

I am worthy of my life and

all the good that is in it.

my friends and their friendship.

of the fruited plain.)

 

I am worthy of a degree of happiness

that could only be referred to as

"sinful" in less enlightened times.

 

I am worthy of creativity.

sensitivity and appreciation.

 

I am worthy of peace of mind, peace on Earth,

peace in the valley and a piece of the action.

 

I am worthy of God's presence in my life.

 

I am worthy

of my love.
