Love blurs your vision; but after it recedes, you can see more clearly than ever. It's like the tide going out, revealing whatever's been thrown away and sunk: broken bottles, old gloves, rusting pop cans, nibbled fishbodies, bones. This is the kind of thing you see if you sit in the darkness with open eyes, not knowing the future. The ruin you've made. Margaret Atwood
About This Quote

When you're in love, your vision blurs. Everything is a blur of colors, but after it recedes, you can see more clearly than ever. When you lose a love, the world looks a little bluer. You can see things in a new light and with a new perspective. You can see the beauty in the world again.
