There is an old adage that says "Love conquers all." In a perfect world, this would always be true, and no relationship would ever have to suffer the pain of a break up. We all know that reality paints quite a different picture. 

Going through a break up is never easy, but many people have found comfort in various breakup quotes. So, while the idea of Love overcoming any problem is nice, that particular quote doesn't really help if you suddenly find yourself alone. Here are some quotes, and thoughts about them, that may help.

"What really hurts is knowing they meant everything to you, but you didn't mean anything to them."

Ouch! That's pretty brutal, isn't it? And yet there can be comfort found in this quote. The thing to realize is that all relationships are a bit uneven. Everybody is different, and each of us has a unique capacity for how much we can love somebody else. In this case, it means nothing more than your capacity for love was higher than theirs. 

Furthermore, if the above breakup quote is true in your case, then it's better to be out of the relationship anyway. After all, you can't force somebody else to love you.

The truth of this quote may hurt at first, but take the time to dig deeper and recognize that there is a deeper message within it.

Instead of being sad that it's over, focus on the good times you had together; on the fact that you got to spend time with them at all. Alfred Lord Tennyson had a quote that is quite similar: "'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." Embracing the idea behind these two quotes will make it easier for you to move on and find a new love.
