If only I could rest for a time in quiet pain and awaken new and willing. He is looking forward and I am inward.

About This Quote

The pain of a broken heart, a heart that has been shattered is a pain that can never be understood by others. You feel it in your chest, in your stomach and in your heart. It’s a pain that leaves you feeling empty inside and lost in a darkness you cannot describe. It is a pain that never goes away even though the physical manifestation of the pain has subsided. In this quote from The Odyssey, Odysseus describes how he feels after his soul-mate is gone from his life, which is the result of trying to return to her when he knows he should be staying away from her.
