"It is a curious sensation: the sort of pain that goes mercifully beyond our powers of feeling. When your heart is broken, your boats are burned: nothing matters any more. It is the end of happiness and the beginning of peace"

- George Bernard Shaw

About this Quote

This quote by George Bernard Shaw speaks to the feeling of heartbreak. It is a curious experience, one that is so intense that it exceeds our capability to feel it. When your heart is broken, it can seem like all hope is lost and absolutely nothing matters any longer. It is completion of the joy that you once felt and the beginning of a brand-new peace. Heartbreak can be a tough experience, but it can likewise be a time of growth and knowing. It can be a time to reflect on what went wrong and to discover a brand-new path forward. It can be a time to find a brand-new source of delight and peace. Heartbreak can be a challenging journey, but it can likewise be a time of healing and improvement.
