Quotes on Moving On

“It’s these moments, heartbreaking, mind-numbing, wishing to die moments, that have the raw power to launch us into who we’ve always wanted to be.  If only we will recognize the cross-point, open our eyes, face our darkest pain and believe us, before anyone else does, that the heroine we always wanted to be, can wake up without a lover’s kiss…and save her own day.”  - Stephanie Schneider

“Well, now
If little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you
Little by little
If suddenly you forget me
Do not look for me
For I shall already have forgotten you

If you think it long and mad the wind of banners that passes through my life
And you decide to leave me at the shore of the heart where I have roots
Remember
That on that day, at that hour, I shall lift my arms
And my roots will set off to seek another land” 
― Pablo Neruda

“Some say love…is a razor, a river and a hunger…but I say love is the carrier of many assets, for it opened my eyes, excited me, broke me, burned me, and crushed me, than it brought me back to life again.”  - Stephanie Schneider

“If I keep saying it, if I keep reaching out. My accident really taught me just one thing: the only way to go on is to go on. To say 'I can do this' even when you know you can't.”

“I wondered if I shall ever see daylight again, to see the colorful clouds in the sky.  Shall I ever see the eyes of love again, shall I ever again see life?” the broken heart asked God.   “Well, dear heart” God replied “it really depends on one thing…if you choose to open your eyes.”  -Stephanie Schneider

“That was the only time, as I stood there, looking at that strange rubbish, feeling the wind coming across those empty fields, that I started to imagine just a little fantasy thing, because this was Norfolk after all, and it was only a couple of weeks since I’d lost him. I was thinking about the rubbish, the flapping plastic in the branches, the shore-line of odd stuff caught along the fencing, and I half-closed my eyes and imagined this was the spot where everything I'd ever lost since my childhood had washed up, and I was now standing here in front of it, and if I waited long enough, a tiny figure would appear on the horizon across the field, and gradually get larger until I'd see it was Tommy, and he'd wave, maybe even call. The fantasy never got beyond that --I didn't let it-- and though the tears rolled down my face, I wasn't sobbing or out of control. I just waited a bit, then turned back to the car, to drive off to wherever it was I was supposed to be.” 
― Kazuo Ishiguro

“Death came and tempted me, and whispered in my ear to give up my tomorrows, promising if I do, my heart will stop and my pain will cease to be.  I sat in quiet for a long time, thinking before I finally answered.  “Death” I said, standing up “What good is a heart that is dead in me; for then there will be no more of my hearts’ beatings resounding on hopes’ door…and then I will truly never live again.” - Stephanie Schneider

“Do the things that you always wanted to, without me there to hold you back, don't think just do, more than anything I want to see you go, take a glorious bite out of the whole world” 
― Snow Patrol

“It seems to me that the brightest of futures consist of these two things: the will to try and the choice to forgive.”  -Stephanie Schneider

“If you can just stop loving her then you never really loved her at all. Love doesn't work that way. If you ever truly love someone, then it never goes away. It can become something else. There are all different sorts of love. It can even become hate- a thin line and all that- and, really, hate is just another kind of caring.” 
― Blakney Francis

“The great courageous act that we must all do, is to have the courage to step out of our history and past so that we can live our dreams.” 
― Oprah Winfrey

“It was always my mission to avoid as much pain in my life as possible.  Now I understand that pain is the grandest wonder to show my own eyes my strength; and it always lets me know that I’m still, indeed, alive.” 
 -Stephanie Schneider

“You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks, or even months over-analyzing a situation; trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could’ve, would've happened... or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move the *%#@ on.” 
― Tupac Shakur

“He was my first love, my friend, my companion and the man that showed me my first glimpse of being a woman.  Then he broke my heart.  I can remember one night as I lay in bed, as my heart cried for relief from its aching, as I kept thinking about a bottle of sleeping pills on my nightstand, bringing eternal peace to my hearts breaking.  And I thought of Marilyn Monroe…and I thought of her as I lay there, that these must have been the painful thoughts that she was feeding…that day she swallowed her pills and went to sleep.  And it made me cry as I thought “poor Marilyn, if you could have only seen who you could have been past that one man's face.”  And I lay there, and I put the sleeping pills aside.  –Stephanie Schneider
