And the story of love is a long sad tale ending in graves.

Jack Kerouac
About This Quote

The story of love is a long sad tale ending in graves. Love is one of the most beautiful things in the world, but it can also be one of the most heartbreaking. The kind of love that makes us feel butterflies in our stomach when our lover is near can often become painful when that person is not around or when that person is no longer the same person we fell in love with. The kind of pain that makes us want to jump out of our own skin when we are in love with someone who does not share the same feeling for us can also become painfully painful when that person no longer loves us. The kind of pain that makes us feel like crying in despair when we realize there is no hope for the future with our current partner can become painful when we try to force ourselves to move on.
