heartbreak remembrance use
There's no use in weeping, Though we are condemned to part: There's such a thing as keeping, A remembrance in one's heart...
break-up heartbreak heartbroken
I have not broken your heart - you have broken it; and in breaking it, you have broken mine.
heartbreak prayer integrity
Gentle reader, may you never feel what I then felt! May your eyes never shed such stormy, scalding, heart-wrung tears as poured from mine.

reason should strikes
When we are struck at without a reason, we should strike back again very hard; I am sure we should - so hard as to teach the person who struck us never to do it again.
slave
Be a governess! Better be a slave at once!
british-novelist build love rather sake sure
If we would build on a sure foundation in friendship, we must love friends for their sake rather than for our own.
There is only one difference between a madman and me. I am not mad.
cannot human ought vain
It is vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquility; they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it.
