Winona Ryder Quotes

Were it not better to forget than to remember and regret?

A broken heart is what makes life so wonderful five years later, when you see the guy in an elevator and he is fat and smoking a cigar and saying long-time-no-see.

The best way to heal a broken heart, it turns out, is to find a way to move past the hurt.

Once you get it in your head you're finished with something, to go back, it hurts.

You don't have to move on to let go.

Holding onto something that's gone only makes a sickness inside.

There is nothing you can do about the past except keep it there.

The past was gone. Nothing could change what had already been. Looking back at it, letting its wounds fester, indulging in regret was just a different, slower way to die. The living moved forward.

I have a hard time getting over an ex. Getting over an ex is just hard, period.

I have some girls who I look back on and I think, 'Wow, they were really horrible to me.' I would love an apology from a few girls, but whatever. I'm not holding any grudges. I'm over it.

I don't like looking back.

I just don't like to talk about the past.

Relationships ending are painful, and you can choose to carry that, or you can choose to reframe it.

You can't live in the past.

You can't shut down. You can't say, 'What can I do to make this go away?' You have to let it be painful and get through it. Every day gets better. Because when you're in love, you kind of give everything and make that person your life. So every day, you get more and more of yourself back, and it feels better.

The past is past; what's gone on has gone on.

I've had relationships before where you break up, and you think you're going to die, and then you realise you're definitely not going to die, and actually, you're probably better off without them.

In the wake of a failed relationship, I'm often flooded with if-onlys.

Whatever happened in the past is in the past.

The themes in 'Violet' are universal: accepting yourself with all of your flaws, moving on, and the forgiveness and freedom that comes along with that.

It feels good when you learn to move on in life.
