Sandra CisnerosNow, granted, there are still as many heartbreaking things going on. There are so many things in the Obama administration to be sick over that certainly didn't change. And also our media, if it's possible, seems to be getting even worse. The alleged news media. And then there are the teabag racists adding insult to injury.

Amy ChanTo remove warfare from a spiritual life is to render it unspiritual.

BaldwinIf you're going to go into the movie business it is so full of heartbreak and you get so close and it doesn't happen and then once in a while it works out and it is the fantasy, like it is that dream.

John Buffalo MailerTo be a serious writer requires discipline that is iron fisted. It's sitting down and doing it whether you think you have it in you or not. Everyday. Alone. Without interruption. Contrary to what most people think, there is no glamour to writing. In fact, it's heartbreak most of the time.

Yasmin MogahedAnxiety, heartbreak, and tenderness mark the in-between state. It's the kind of place we usually want to avoid. The challenge is to stay in the middle rather than buy into struggle and complaint. The challenge is to let it soften us rather than make us more rigid and afraid.
Pema ChodronBy the Angel, Bridgetโs depressing,โ said Henry, setting down his newspaper directly on his plate and causing the edge to soak through with egg yolk.

Your beloved large-print sagas of rags, riches, and heartbreak were no camouflage against the miseries trained on you by the tennis ball launcher of life, were they? But, yes, Mum, there again, you have a point. Books donโt offer real escape, but they can stop a mind scratching itself raw.

Bella HeathcoteLike Joe Biden and so many other Americans, I've lost people I love deeply to cancer.
