One of the most painful parts of a breakup is having the feeling that your life is a story, and then the other person leaves and takes the story with them. And you're left there without it. You're left in this version of life that's basically a succession of events and interactions that don't seem to be going anywhere.

I merely took the energy it takes...Being cool is being your own self, not doing something...The superior man, when resting in safety...Courage is like love; it must have hope...Health is not valued till sickness comes...You can't build a great building on a weak foundation...
