Anne Lamott Quotes

All our failures are ultimately failures in love.

It's okay not to be okay... Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart but tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising, there's nothing wrong with who you are.

Your heart just breaks, that's all. But you can't judge or point fingers. You just have to be lucky enough to find someone who appreciates you.

Hearts were made for being broken. There's really no way around it if you want to be a human being.

The journey from teaching about love to allowing myself to be loved proved much longer than I realised.

Most people have a harder time letting themselves love than finding someone to love them.

I think that the most difficult thing is allowing yourself to be loved, so receiving the love and feeling like you deserve it is a pretty big struggle. I suppose that's what I've learnt recently, to allow myself to be loved.

Love inevitably forces one to look at their own life, and that's either a good thing or a bad thing depending on what the person has going on or what they've experienced. The search for love and heartbreak is a fairly university condition and everybody will take away from it something different.

Only love can break your heart.

Love heals scars love left

Bad love is better than no love at all, at least you know you're alive.

It hurts to love wide open stretching the muscles... It hurts to thwart the reflexes of grab, of clutch; to love and let go again and again.

Even if your heart is broken and attacking you, you're still not better off without it.

A lover would find life less broken apart after a misguided love affair if they could feel that they had been sinful rather than foolish.

It is better for the heart to break, than not to break.

I'd rather bleed with cuts of love than live without any scars.

I truly believe that while love can hurt, love can also heal.

If we want to be able to move through the difficult disappointments, the hurt feelings, and the heartbreaks that are inevitable in a fully lived life, we can't equate defeat with being unworthy of love, belonging and joy. If we do, we'll never show up and try again.

Don't mind if I fall apart. There's more room in a broken heart.

Testing ourselves over and again, learning love and love and LOVE!

Every instance of heartbreak can teach us powerful lessons about creating the kind of love we really want.

Love had always issued out of the places that hurt the most.

I want people to love me, but it's not going to hurt me if they don't.

I think it's safe to say that each of us has at least one issue we are passionate about and struggle with, issues that robs us of our peace, our joy and our ability to experience love.

Love makes me vulnerable. In business I'm tough on myself - I'm like a drill sergeant. If I'm down, I'm used to getting right back up, but when it comes to love, your heart can't do that.
