disappointment

My husband has never been one to catch the subtleties of a situation. He called every Valentine's Day to ask if I wanted him to stop on the way home to get a card. Every year I said no, don't bother, and he'd say something like, "Okay, but I want to go on record I asked, so you can't say I'm not romantic." I never did point out that any chance the gesture had of being romantic was lost when he asked whether he had to do it.

It's as if she assumes everything will go right, and when it doesn't - which, of course, is pretty often - she is surprised and affronted.

It's easy to love someone you haven't let down.

Disappointment is a sort of bankruptcy - the bankruptcy of a soul that expends too much in hope and expectation.

She__ been let down enough times to know not to believe in fairy tales.

Sometimes waiting and being disappointed was good, to remind me he didn't belong to me. Nothing belonged to me.

If you make more appointments with quality people, you will have less disappointments with non-quality people.

Yet what happened in fact? In the middle of the night John woke up and saw me sleeping beside him with no doubt a look of peace on my face, even of bliss, bliss is not unattainable in this world. He saw me__aw me as I was at that moment__ook fright, hurriedly strapped the armour back over his heart, this time with chains and a double padlock, and stole out into the darkness.

Evelyn stared into the empty ice cream carton and wondered where the smiling girl in the school pictures had gone.

These days people are so mean that they even try to get rid of their shadows sometimes.

Disappointment was never a thing you looked for, but it had a wonderful way of clearing the mind.

Be careful who you choose as your hero or who you choose to deify, be it Clay Aiken or Barack Obama. You put all you're hope and all your dreams and all your ideas about stuff into one human being. They're a human being they're going to let you down. You can't make someone your hero because of something you read on the internet. The internet is not a source of information it is a source of disinformation.

I can't bear the thought that a man of lofty mind and heart begins with the ideal of the Madonna and ends with the ideal of Sodom.

I will try to disappoint youbetter than anyone else has.

i felt like i was wanting you more than ever..I want to fall asleep with the pure sound of your heart beat, wrapped around your warm arms, feeling your skin against mine and wake up with the sound of your sweet voice and a beautiful smile on a saturday morning.I want to kiss you from head to toe and drown in your carefree laughI want the entirety of you and love you endlessly.....when i wake up this morning and pondered of my wantsit break my heart to realise that my simple wants are nowhere near achievable....

I advise, however, moderation in this task of setting goals, or else risk becoming tangled up in a Gordian knot of life__ many disappointments.

He had the look of one who had drunk the cup of life and found a dead beetle at the bottom.
