50 Hurt Quotes

Some love and some hurt,
And others play their games.
They pretend to be your friend,
While behind your back are lighting flames.
Julie Hebert, Playing The Game,

In much pain, that my mind was resisting,
There was hurt, there was woe, and this much I know,
Wasn’t living, just barely existing.
Jim Thistle, To The Love Of A Friend,
His heart his wound received from my sight;
My heart was wounded with his wounded heart;
For as from me on him his hurt did light,
So still, methought, in me his hurt did smart:
Both equal hurt, in this change sought our bliss,
My true love hath my heart and I have his.
Sir Philip Sidney, My True Love Hath My Heart
