Charles Frazier Quotes

Certain stories we carry with us, events in our life, they define who we are. It's not a matter of getting over anything; we have to make the best of it.

No matter how painful your past has been, you have made it through.

No looking back. Life goes one way only, and whatever opinions you hold about the past having nothing to do with anything but your own damn weakness. Nothing changes what already happened. It will always have happened. You either let it break you down or you don't.

You are not defined by your past. You are prepared by your past.

And all the things that break you are all the things that make you strong. You can't change the past 'Cause it's gone, and you just gotta move on.

When you come from so many damaged places you don't ever want to spiral back there, so you gotta continue to check yourself.

What happened in the past that was painful has a great deal to do with what we are today, but revisiting this painful past can contribute little or nothing to what we need to do now.

I don't care how my past was or what I had to go through.

What happened in my past happened. What's the term - don't cry over spilled milk? That's the thing people don't understand. I'm all right. I configured myself into coming out on the other end OK. I can disassociate myself.

Past tears are present strength.

My first big heartbreak proved to me that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Sometimes we have to soak ourselves in the tears and fears of the past to water our future gardens.

This is what I have come to know: Our past is never passed and there is no such thing as moving on. But there is this telling and there is such a thing as passing through.

Each of us is the sum of our scars.

All of us heal in time. The strongest are born again. We only keep the scars we choose to keep.

Even the saddest things can become, once we have made peace with them, a source of wisdom and strength.

I learned that what happened to me did not have to define who I was. My past could not control my future unless I allowed it to.

The pain of yesterday is the strength of today.

I would have to say that my divorce was an incredibly difficult experience in my life, but I am truly thankful for it. It made me a stronger and better person.

The scars will take me far, they always do.

It is when you are asking about something that you realize you yourself have survived it, and so you must carry it, or fashion it into a thing that carries itself.

Falling down ain't falling down, If you don't cry when you hit the floor, It's called the past cause I'm getting past, And I ain't nothing like I was before, You ought to see me now

Nothing is sharper than suffering, nothing is sweeter than to have suffered.

Life. Unfair and painful at times. But always moving forward, always shifting,changing, with times relentless passage smoothing down jagged parts until it no longer hurts quite so much to breathe.

I don’t want you to think I got through this undamaged, okay? But I’m learning to live with it. Because otherwise, the damage is all you are.
