Fanny HoweWhy does a heart wear its eyesinto helllike slivers of false sunshine
About This Quote
If you are in the midst of a relationship that is not working out, can you force your heart to go on? Can you make yourself feel good when all you want is for things to stop? The answer is no. The heart does not wear its eyes into hell like slivers of false sunshine. The person’s true emotions are too strong to be pushed aside. Giving in is one of the most dangerous things that a person can do. It puts both parties in danger.
