About This Quote

When you're going through a breakup, the best thing to tell yourself is "I want to love, I want to live." A mixture of ammonia and chloride can be lethal but it can also work miracles. A few drops of ammonia mixed with a little chlorine can turn water into a low-grade explosive. It's amazing how dead the energy of a relationship can become after being severed. When your heart is broken, there's nothing that feels better than the feeling of cleanliness that comes from losing a connection. You can feel free to sing all the songs you want about losing someone but really, it's the truth that counts.
