I went through this kind of existential crisis. I was going through a breakup; I tore my ACL and my meniscus and had to have surgery, so I was out of school for a few months. Then my computer crashed, which was, like, my whole life. So when I came out of it, I started making music that, I think, was the most true to me.

Gus Dapperton

It's difficult for me to feel that a solid page without the breakups of paragraphs can be interesting. I break mine up perhaps sooner than I should in terms of the usage of the English language.

A. E. van Vogt

Age Without Wit

I am never writing a breakup record again, by the way. I'm done with being a bitter witch.

Adele

Writing Witch Wit

I find it quite difficult to think that there's, you know, about 20 million people listening to my album that I wrote very selfishly to get over a breakup. I didn't write it being that it's going to be a hit.

Adele

You Wrote Write

I can't write another breakup record. That would be a real cliche.

Adele

Write Would Up

My first breakup happened when I was in standard 9th. I remember being very lost, and for me, it was like the end of the world, and I will never find another girl.

Aditya Roy Kapur

World Will Very

What's that line from TS Eliot? To arrive at the place where you started, but to know it for the first time. I'm able to write about a breakup from a different place. Same brokenness. Same rock-bottom. But a little more informed, now I'm older. Thank God for growing up.

Alanis Morissette

Time Moving On God

Breakups are a horrible thing for almost everybody I know. For someone who is a love addict, it's debilitating.

Alanis Morissette

Love Who Very

Whether you're dealing with a recent breakup, a fallout with family, or a failed business venture, be aware that your emotions could affect your spending habits. Uncomfortable emotions can increase the chances that you'll behave recklessly, which may have a negative impact on your bank account.

Amy Morin

War Family Chance

The day that I spearheaded the passage of America Fast Forward... the newspaper of record did not put it in the newspaper; what they put was my breakup with my ex-girlfriend. I took umbrage with that. A great newspaper ought to be printing things that people care about, issues that people care about.

Antonio Villaraigosa

War Great Car

There are a lot of female characters out there that, when they fall on hard times, they sort of stew in their fears and negativities and vulnerabilities. And there's something that's really truthful about that - when I've gone through hard times or breakups, I've spent a lot of time on my couch overeating and crying with friends, that's true.

Ari Graynor

Truth Time Fear

It may interest you to know that my breakup with Terry and this mystery did not happen concurrently in real life. That is a writer's device, which places Gabriel under even greater pressure when the mystery begins to reveal itself.

Armistead Maupin

Life Great You

I can still love an ex as a person, regardless if the breakup was bad. I would never wish anything negative on them. It takes more energy to hate them than to wish them well.

Ashley Greene

Moving On Love Would

People come to me and thank me for being there during their breakups or matchups. It seems awkward, but I'm glad to be of assistance during their light or dark moods.

Atif Aslam

War Ups Up

As for the single market, the E.U.'s landmark achievement, there is no question that a euro zone breakup would severely disrupt its operation in the short run.

Barry Eichengreen

Men Zone Would

What you start learning is that to get over a breakup, you kind of have to live through the emotions and not run away from it because then it lasts longer.

Bebe Rexha

Learning Art You

'Teenage Dream' was the hardest breakup for me.

Bonnie McKee

Teen Age Up

I want people to not be embarrassed going through breakups and divorces, to know what to do before they get involved in a relationship.

Brandi Glanville

Relationship Want Ups

After a breakup, it takes a couple weeks for the fog to settle, but it's always a period of self-priority and growth. Life presents you with so many decisions. A lot of times, they're right in front of your face and they're really difficult, but we must make them.

Brittany Murphy

Time Life Your

I just always have to cry out a breakup, and then I can make peace with it pretty quickly.

Brittany Murphy

Peace Wit Ways

I think that's a big trope in pop music: the blaze-of-glory breakup. It's not one that I particularly identify with, but it's definitely possible.

Caroline Polachek

Music Art Wit

Everyone's gone through a breakup, and I've dated girls in the past where... I've never had a messy breakup, thankfully, but I'm never the one to end it. I'm always caught off guard as to why things ended because I guess I'm oblivious in a way.

Charlie Puth

I have always maintained a strong opposition to marriage because I would have to be in serious denial to pretend I wasn't born with a personality for divorce. Whatever the opposite of amicable is, that's how my breakups tend to play out.

Chelsea Handler

There was no animosity in the breakup of Soundgarden.

Chris Cornell

I don't think breakups are ever easy for anybody. If they are, they aren't much of a breakup.

Chris Young

I went through my first big breakup, with a boyfriend who I had been with for more than two years. He had been one of my dancers, and it was my first love and his.

Christina Aguilera

Changing up your home decor is a great way to get a fresh start, especially when going through something like a breakup or a divorce. Begin with replacing the pictures of your ex around the house with photos of your kids or memories with friends. You can even shop for beautiful new frames to make the process more fun and design friendly.

Christina Anstead

When in times of turmoil and breakup, do not cut or shave your head, because it will never end well.

Christine Lakin

That's why I've always loved country music. Whether it's sad, pumps you up, or it's breakup songs, it's all real-life things.

Cole Swindell

A lot of times, people think of Asian culture as some mythical world instead of modern people with modern occupations with modern problems, modern tools. Like, we're not all just talking Taoism and kung fu - some people are just trying to get over their breakup with their boyfriend, and they're Facebook-stalking.

Constance Wu

I met a girl, and two months after we met I wrote 'Nevermind.' And 'Never Go Back' is actually a song I wrote two or three days after the breakup, after a year and a half. Straight continuation of the story.

Dennis Lloyd

Love always had my number. I could never patch a breakup together with whiskey and a one-night stand. I took them real hard.

Dierks Bentley

It was pretty frightening because as we all know, when large, famous groups breakup, a lot of the members don't survive in solo careers.

Don Henley

Patience is key for getting over a breakup. That, and trailing off your interaction after the breakup.

Drake

My breakup with AT&T is final, and I'm done with Skype as the rebound guy.

Elayne Boosler

If you are in a breakup, you might as well go all the way and spend the summer in Samarkand, with no air-conditioning, learning a language you have no use for. At least it adds some romance to a depressing situation.

Elif Batuman

One of the most painful parts of a breakup is having the feeling that your life is a story, and then the other person leaves and takes the story with them. And you're left there without it. You're left in this version of life that's basically a succession of events and interactions that don't seem to be going anywhere.

Elif Batuman

'I Know You Care' is really personal and fragile for me. For me, it's about losing a family member and also about a breakup. It's about this idea of losing someone for good.

Ellie Goulding

Breakups just hit you harder when you're younger. When I was a teenager, it felt like the most depressing thing in the world if a boy I was infatuated with didn't like me back!

Ellie Goulding

In my experience as a therapist and as a friend, it seems that the majority of the breakup resources available are for women and not men. Women, who tend to be more vocal about their emotional struggles, are the squeaky wheel that gets the grease from friends, from online communities, from books, and from therapeutic approaches.

Emily V. Gordon

It's easy to talk about how great love is or how you feel heartbroken after a breakup, but it's not as easy to talk about the process of going through the end of a relationship.

Eric Nam

No one goes straight to happiness after a breakup.

Estelle

Both the guys in Nightwish and I have experiences with previous band breakups and all emotions that come with it. It's almost like dating.

Floor Jansen

We can't just rail against crime. We must speak of the root problems - devastating family breakup, an insidious culture of violence that cheapens human life, skyrocketing prisoner recidivism rates that rob our communities of husbands and fathers - and recognize that there is a societal role in rehabilitation and restoration.

Frank Wolf

I wrote most of these songs right before the end. A lot of these songs are about that. Even if it's not direct, you can feel the beginning of the end of the breakup in these songs.

Gene Ween

I went through this kind of existential crisis. I was going through a breakup; I tore my ACL and my meniscus and had to have surgery, so I was out of school for a few months. Then my computer crashed, which was, like, my whole life. So when I came out of it, I started making music that, I think, was the most true to me.

Gus Dapperton

When you're going through a breakup, you should just let yourself feel everything so you can get over it as opposed to pretending everything's okay and dragging it out.

Hannah Simone

Everyone has a breakup in their lives, and I think everyone should experience love.

Hansika Motwani

I think any great song is difficult to write, in some aspect. It's just difficult to make somebody feel something. That is the main goal. How do you make somebody want to get up and dance? How do you make somebody feel okay after their breakup?

Jason Derulo

Having been through breakups when you get back with the person thinking it's going to work the second time - it never does.

Jeff Baena

Let teens know that suicide is almost always the result of a complex mix of factors rather than a single event such as a breakup or bullying. It can be related to a sometimes undiagnosed mental disorder such as depression.
