“Love is a striking example of how little reality means to us.”
― Marcel Proust, In Search of Lost Time

“The bonds between ourselves and another person exists only in our minds. Memory as it grows fainter loosens them, and notwithstanding the illusion by which we want to be duped and which, out of love, friendship, politeness, deference, duty, we dupe other people, we exist alone. Man is the creature who cannot escape from himself, who knows other people only in himself, and when he asserts the contrary, he is lying.”
― Marcel Proust, In Search of Lost Time

“People will kill you. Over time. They will shave out every last morsel of fun in you with little, harmless sounding phrases that people uses every day, like: 'Be realistic!'"

“Mostly it is loss which teaches us about the worth of things.”
― Arthur Schopenhauer, Parerga and Paralipomena

“Because God is never cruel, there is a reason for all things. We must know the pain of loss; because if we never knew it, we would have no compassion for others, and we would become monsters of self-regard, creatures of unalloyed self-interest. The terrible pain of loss teaches humility to our prideful kind, has the power to soften uncaring hearts, to make a better person of a good one.”
― Dean Koontz, The Darkest Evening of the Year

“Heartbreak is a loss. Divorce is a piece of paper.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

“You don't know who is important to you until you actually lose them.”

“ســأحمل روحــي عـلى راحـتي .. وألقــي بهـا فـي مهـاوي الـردى
فإمــا حيــاة تســر الصــديق.. وإمــا ممــات يغيــظ العــدى
ونفس الشـــريف لهــا غايتــان..ورود المنايـــا ونيـــل المنــى
ومـا العيش? لا عشـت إن لـم أكـن .. مخــوف الجنــاب حـرام الحـمى”
― عبد الرحيم محمود, الأعمال الكاملة
