About This Quote

A broken heart in real life isn't half as dreadful as it is in books. It's a good deal like a bad tooth, though you won't think THAT a very romantic simile. It takes spells of aching and gives you a sleepless night now and then, but between times it lets you enjoy life and dreams and echoes and peanut candy as if there were nothing the matter with it. "Broken Heart" is the result of having an encounter with someone who is not right for you in life, family status or personality.

It is hurtful to the extent that the situation may not be recoverable. The pain of being rejected by someone whom you care for is unbearable at times.
