Clarice LispectorDo not mourn the dead. They know what they are doing.
About This Quote
Mourning for the dead implies that you are unhappy with their decision. If you are upset with them, then they are wasting the opportunity to achieve happiness in this world. Their decision is irrevocable and if your relationship was as good as you claim, then you and they should be able to move on and do better than before.
