The great love is gone. There are still little loves - friend to friend, brother to sister, student to teacher. Will you deny yourself comfort at the hearthfire of a cottage because you may no longer sit by the fireplace of a palace? Will you deny yourself to those who reach out to you in hopes of warming themselves at your hearthfire? Mercedes Lackey
About This Quote

When people are in love, they can be in love all the time. They are in love with life in general. Their world is filled with love and they are in love with everything in their life. However, when love ends, they become less happy and begin to pull away from the people in their lives.

They start to hate themselves for being so stupid to have given up on love when they could have had it for so much longer. People are also scared of ending up alone, even though most people are alone when love ends.
