It's true--love hurts. We've all experienced the anguish called love. Love is a strong emotion so it's inevitable that there will be some pain associated with it at some time in our lives. This is Nature's law of opposites. For every force there is an equal and opposite force to hold it in balance. The following quotes reveal the heartache caused by love.
