Betrayal proverbs

◆ It's hard to tell who has your back, from who has it long enough just to stab you in it....

- Nicole Richie99

◆ Everyone suffers at least one bad betrayal in their lifetime. It's what unites us. The trick is not to let it destroy your trust in others when that happens. Don't let them take that from you.

- Sherrilyn Kenyon99

◆ You teach me now how cruel you've been - cruel and false. Why did you despise me? Why did you betray your own heart, Cathy? I have not one word of comfort. You deserve this. You have killed yourself. Yes, you may kiss me, and cry; and wring out my kisses and tears: they'll blight you - they'll damn you. You loved me - what right had you to leave me? What right - answer me - for the poor fancy you felt for Linton? Because misery, and degradation, and death, and nothing that God or Satan could inflict would have parted us, you, of your own will did it. I have no broken your heart - you have broken it; and in breaking it, you have broken mine. So much the worse for me that I am strong. Do I want to live? What kind of living will it be when you - Oh, God! would you like to lie with your soul in the grave?

- Emily Bront?99

◆ I think in the end, you would have stayed with me, out of obligation...or maybe comfort. Maybe I was safe to you, and you needed to feel that. I know how scared you get of the unknown. To you...I must be kind of a security blanket. Do you see now, how that doesn't work for me? I don't want to be there, simply because the idea of me being gone is too...scary. I want to be someone's everything. I want fire and passion, and love that's returned, equally. I want to be someone's heart... Even if it means breaking my own.

- S.C. Stephens99

◆ The worst pain in the world goes beyond the physical. Even further beyond any other emotional pain one can feel. It is the betrayal of a friend.

- Heather Brewer99

◆ Et tu, Brute?

- William Shakespeare99

◆ I could never hurt him enough to make his betrayal stop hurting. And it hurts, in every part of my body.

- Veronica Roth99

◆ Betrayal is the only truth that sticks.

- Arthur Miller99

◆ Betrayal is common for men with no conscience.

- Toba Beta99

◆ It hurts to breathe. It hurts to live. I hate her, yet I do not think I can exist without her.

- Charlotte Featherstone99

◆ You are going to break your promise. I understand. And I hold my hands over the ears of my heart, so that I will not hate you.

- Catherynne M. Valente99

◆ It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

- Confucius99

◆ Confession is not betrayal. What you say or do doesn't matter; only feelings matter. If they could make me stop loving you-that would be the real betrayal.

- George Orwell99

◆ No one fights dirtier or more brutally than blood; only family knows it's own weaknesses, the exact placement of the heart. The tragedy is that one can still live with the force of hatred, feel infuriated that once you are born to another, that kinship lasts through life and death, immutable, unchanging, no matter how great the misdeed or betrayal. Blood cannot be denied, and perhaps that's why we fight tooth and claw, because we cannot—being only human—put asunder what God has joined together.

- Whitney Otto99

◆ Her only way home was to betray her friend.

- Scott Westerfeld99
