    Ana茂s Nin
    “Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.”
    Anais Nin

    Oriah Mountain Dreamer
    “It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.
    It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.
    It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain!I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it or fade it, or fix it.
    I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, to be realistic, to remember the limitations of being human.
    It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul; if you can be faithlessand therefore trustworthy.
    I want to know if you can see beauty even when it's not pretty, every day,and if you can source your own life from its presence.
    I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, 鈥淵es!鈥�
    It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up, after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done to feed the children.
    It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.
    It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you, from the inside, when all else falls away.
    I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.”
    Oriah Mountain Dreamer

    David Levithan
    “It was a mistake," you said. But the cruel thing was, it felt like the mistake was mine, for trusting you.”
    David Levithan, The Lover's Dictionary

  • #7
    Oscar Wilde
    “Yet each man kills the thing he loves
    By each let this be heard
    Some do it with a bitter look
    Some with a flattering word
    The coward does it with a kiss
    The brave man with a sword”
    Oscar Wilde, The Ballad of Reading Gaol

    Diana Gabaldon
    “I will find you," he whispered in my ear. "I promise. If I must endure two hundred years of purgatory, two hundred years without you - then that is my punishment, which I have earned for my crimes. For I have lied, and killed, and stolen; betrayed and broken trust. But there is the one thing that shall lie in the balance. When I shall stand before God, I shall have one thing to say, to weigh against the rest."

    His voice dropped, nearly to a whisper, and his arms tightened around me.

    Lord, ye gave me a rare woman, and God! I loved her well.”
    Diana Gabaldon, Dragonfly in Amber

  • #12
    Sherrilyn Kenyon
    “Everyone suffers at least one bad betrayal in their lifetime. It鈥檚 what unites us. The trick is not to let it destroy your trust in others when that happens. Don鈥檛 let them take that from you.”
    Sherrilyn Kenyon, Invincible

  • #13
    Bren茅 Brown
    “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 鈥� 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.”
    Bren茅 Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection

    Chuck Palahniuk
    “Just for the record, the weather today is partly suspicious with chances of betrayal.”

    Shannon L. Alder
    “Sensitive people are the most genuine and honest people you will ever meet. There is nothing they won鈥檛 tell you about themselves if they trust your kindness. However, the moment you betray them, reject them or devalue them, they become the worse type of person. Unfortunately, they end up hurting themselves in the long run. They don鈥檛 want to hurt other people. It is against their very nature. They want to make amends and undo the wrong they did. Their life is a wave of highs and lows. They live with guilt and constant pain over unresolved situations and misunderstandings. They are tortured souls that are not able to live with hatred or being hated. This type of person needs the most love anyone can give them because their soul has been constantly bruised by others. However, despite the tragedy of what they have to go through in life, they remain the most compassionate people worth knowing, and the ones that often become activists for the broken hearted, forgotten and the misunderstood. They are angels with broken wings that only fly when loved.”
    Shannon L. Alder

    Malcolm X
    “To me, the thing that is worse than death is betrayal. You see, I could conceive death, but I could not conceive betrayal.”
    Malcolm X

    S酶ren Kierkegaard
    “The most common form of despair is not being who you are.”
    S酶ren Kierkegaard

  • #18
    S.C. Stephens
    “I think in the end, you would have stayed with me, out of obligation...or maybe comfort. Maybe I was safe to you, and you needed to feel that. I know how scared you get of the unknown. To you...I must be kind of a security blanket. Do you see now, how that doesn't work for me? I don't want to be there, simply because the idea of me being gone is too...scary. I want to be someone's everything. I want fire and passion, and love that's returned, equally. I want to be someone's heart... Even if it means breaking my own.”
    S.C. Stephens, Thoughtless

    Confucius
    “Silence is a true friend who never betrays.”
    Confucius

    Susan Forward
    “Love is a verb, not a noun. It is active. Love is not just feelings of passion and romance. It is behavior. If a man lies to you, he is behaving badly and unlovingly toward you. He is disrespecting you and your relationship. The words 鈥淚 love you鈥� are not enough to make up for that. Don鈥檛 kid yourself that they are.”
    Susan Forward, When Your Lover Is a Liar: Healing the Wounds of Deception and Betrayal

    Shannon L. Alder
    “The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't being said. The art of reading between the lines is a life long quest of the wise.”
    Shannon L. Alder

    Shannon L. Alder
    “A true gentleman is one that apologizes anyways, even though he has not offended a lady intentionally. He is in a class all of his own because he knows the value of a woman's heart.”
    Shannon Alder

  • #23
    Susan Forward
    “MAKING THE LIE MAKE SENSE:

    When denial (his or ours) can no longer hold and we finally have to admit to ourselves that we鈥檝e been lied to, we search frantically for ways to keep it from disrupting our lives. So we rationalize. We find 鈥済ood reasons鈥� to justify his lying, just as he almost always accompanies his confessions with 鈥済ood reasons鈥� for his lies. He tells us he only lied because鈥�. We tell ourselves he only lied because鈥�. We make excuses for him: The lying wasn鈥檛 significant/Everybody lies/He鈥檚 only human/I have no right to judge him.

    Allowing the lies to register in our consciousness means having to make room for any number of frightening possibilities:

    鈥� He鈥檚 not the man I thought he was.
    鈥� The relationship has spun out of control and I don鈥檛 know
    what to do
    鈥� The relationship may be over.

    Most women will do almost anything to avoid having to face these truths. Even if we yell and scream at him when we discover that he鈥檚 lied to us, once the dust settles, most of us will opt for the comforting territory of rationalization. In fact, many of us are willing to rewire our senses, short-circuit our instincts and intelligence, and accept the seductive comfort of self-delusion.”
    Susan Forward, When Your Lover Is a Liar: Healing the Wounds of Deception and Betrayal

    Steve Maraboli
    “You are not a victim. No matter what you have been through, you're still here. You may have been challenged, hurt, betrayed, beaten, and discouraged, but nothing has defeated you. You are still here! You have been delayed but not denied. You are not a victim, you are a victor. You have a history of victory.”
    Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience

    Charlotte Featherstone
    “It hurts to breathe. It hurts to live. I hate her, yet I do not think I can exist without her.”
    Charlotte Featherstone, Addicted

    Arthur Miller
    “Betrayal is the only truth that sticks.”
    Arthur Miller

  • #28
    Max Lucado
    “He saw you cast into a river of life you didn't request. He saw you betrayed by those you love. He saw you with a body that gets sick and a heart that grows weak. He saw you in your own garden of gnarled trees and sleeping friends. He saw you staring into the pit of your own failures and the mouth of your own grave. He saw you in your own garden of Gethsemane and he didn't want you to be alone ... He would rather go to hell for you than to heaven without you.”
    Max Lucado

  • #29
    John Fowles
    “The human race is unimportant. It is the self that must not be betrayed."

    "I suppose one could say that Hitler didn't betray his self."

    "You are right. He did not. But millions of Germans did betray their selves. That was the tragedy. Not that one man had the courage to be evil. But that millions had not the courage to be good.”
    John Fowles, The Magus

  • #30
    Cheryl Strayed
    “It is not so incomprehensible as you pretend, sweet pea. Love is the feeling we have for those we care deeply about and hold in high regard. It can be light as the hug we give a friend or heavy as the sacrifices we make for our children. It can be romantic, platonic, familial, fleeting, everlasting, conditional, unconditional, imbued with sorrow, stoked by sex, sullied by abuse, amplified by kindness, twisted by betrayal, deepened by time, darkened by difficulty, leavened by generosity, nourished by humor and 鈥渓oaded with promises and commitments鈥� that we may or may not want or keep.

    The best thing you can possibly do with your life is to tackle the motherfucking shit out of it.”
    Cheryl Strayed, Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar

  • #31
    Dennis Lehane
    “I normally can't stand vice-free people. They conflate a narcissistic instinct for self-preservation with moral superiority. Plus they suck the life right out of a party.”
    Dennis Lehane, Moonlight Mile
