Ryan Murphy Quotes

Keep in mind, hurting people often hurt other people as a result of their own pain. If somebody is rude and inconsiderate, you can almost be certain that they have some unresolved issues inside. They have some major problems, anger, resentment, or some heartache they are trying to cope with or overcome.

I was the angriest daughter on earth, and also, one of the most devoted.

Any time there is 'un-forgiveness' between people who love each other, there is suffering. Any time people face challenges that they really don't understand... there is suffering.

I love my wife... but sometimes not so much. Frustration and fights can muck up a good thing. And just when a thing can move past differences and into the realm of peace and prosperity, another thing - an old idea or new interpretation or any spark that relights the paradigms that comfort us - will keep us where we are, where it is safe.

The passion of hatred is so long lived and so obstinate a malady that the surest sign of death in a sick person is their desire for reconciliation.

When you get into a fight with your partner or a friend, you usually have some weird, specific thing that you hold on to that you fight about that has nothing to do with what's going on.

Fighting bitterness can be a full-time job.

People have so much pain inside them that they're not even aware of.

I had a very difficult relationship with my father, which ended up okay, but there were many difficult years.

Many fathers and sons never get to reconcile their differences or come to an understanding that fills the gap between love and expectations.

Many relationships can become difficult, and it can be hard to find a way back.

I hate when people come out after a fight and they talk about injuries.

The reconciliation is not based on the fact that one of the characters opens his eyes and says, "O brother! O sister! How terrible I was! How right and wonderful you were! Please forgive me! Let's hug and love each other from now until the rest of eternity!" This is not the kind of reconciliation I write about; I write about sad, sober, sometimes heart-breaking compromises.

I am...sad and angry. Why is my spirit so sad and angry? I look back at my life and all I can remember is rage and rage and rage.

now I'm told that this is life, that pain is just a simple comprimise so we can get what we want out of it. Would someone care to classify a broken heart and some twisted minds so I can find someone to rely on?

A word of truth can mobilise two peoples looking for the road to reconciliation.

We must, all of us, learn actually not to have enemies, but only confused adversaries who are ourselves in disguise.

A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.

I think most of the time when people have big disagreements and big misunderstandings, when time lessens that blow it creates a deeper understanding for both people.

Peace does not include a vendetta; there will be neither winners nor losers.

I don't want to crawl over the entrails of past disputes.

Family quarrels are bitter things. They don't go according to any rules. They're not like aches or wounds, they're more like splits in the skin that won't heal because there's not enough material.

When you are in deep conflict about something, sometimes the most trivial thing can tip the scales.

Relationships shouldn't be disposable. If there's something worth saving - not always the case, some relationships are irreconcilable - but if there is something that you determine is worth saving, then try to do that.

It pays to know the enemy - not least because at some time you may have the opportunity to turn him into a friend.
