Famous Quotes about compromise

Lang Leav quote #258 from Love & Misadventure

It happens like this. One day you meet someone and for some inexplicable reason you feel more connected to this stranger than anyone else--closer to them than your closest family. Perhaps this person carries within them an angel--one sent to you for some higher purpose to teach you an important lesson or to keep you safe during a perilous time. What you must do is trust in them--even if they come hand in hand with pain or suffering--the reason for their presence will become clear in due time.Though here is a word of warning--you may grow to love this person but remember they are not yours to keep. Their purpose isnt to save you but to show you how to save yourself. And once this is fulfilled the halo lifts and the angel leaves their body as the person exits your life. They will be a stranger to you once more.-------------------------------------------------Its so dark right now I cant see any light around me. Thats because the light is coming from you. You cant see it but everyone else can.

Yann Martel quote #463 from Life of Pi

Ive never forgotten him. Dare I say I miss him I do. I miss him. I still see him in my dreams. They are nightmares mostly but nightmares tinged with love. Such is the strangeness of the human heart. I still cannot understand how he could abandon me so unceremoniously without any sort of goodbye without looking back even once. The pain is like an axe that chops my heart.

Emily Brontë quote #396 from Wuthering Heights

You teach me now how cruel youve been - cruel and false. Why did you despise me Why did you betray your own heart Cathy I have not one word of comfort. You deserve this. You have killed yourself. Yes you may kiss me and cry and wring out my kisses and tears theyll blight you - theyll damn you. You loved me - what right had you to leave me What right - answer me - for the poor fancy you felt for Linton Because misery and degradation and death and nothing that God or Satan could inflict would have parted us you of your own will did it. I have no broken your heart - you have broken it and in breaking it you have broken mine. So much the worse for me that I am strong. Do I want to live What kind of living will it be when you - Oh God would you like to lie with your soul in the grave

Brené Brown quote #473 from The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are

We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known and when we honor the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust respect kindness and affection.Love is not something we give or get it is something that we nurture and grow a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each one of them we can only love others as much as we love ourselves.Shame blame disrespect betrayal and the withholding of affection damage the roots from which love grows. Love can only survive these injuries if they are acknowledged healed and rare.
