Lord of the Rings star Orlando Bloom has shared a series of quotes. attributed to psychologist Carl Jung, following reports in recent weeks that he has split from Katy Perry
Orlando Bloom has shared a series of cryptic quotes referring to “darkness” and “loneliness” following his reported split from his fiancée Katy Perry.
The Pirates of the Caribbean actor, 48, and Katy, 40, have reportedly parted ways after nine years together. The couple, who are parents to four-year-old daughter Daisy, have faced speculation over their relationship in recent weeks, with there once even the suggestion of potential “make or break talks” in the future.
Following yet more reports that they had separated, Pirates of the Caribbean star Orlando has shared a series of quotes, which aren’t attributed to him, on Instagram. They featured in a post that he shared on his account yesterday.
He shared a post by the account @sapienkind which focused on the late Carl Jung, who’s considered the founder of analytical psychology. The post included more than a dozen quotes attributed to the psychologist.
One quote included in the repost from Orlando was about loneliness. It read: “Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself.”
Whilst another of those featured in the post focused on love and power. That quote read: “Where love rules, there is no will to power, and where power predominates, love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.”
“Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness,” one quote read. Whilst another read: “Know all the theories, master all the techniques, but as you touch a human soul, be just another human soul.”
Orlando later shared his post on his Instagram Story. He went on to highlight some of the quotes in particular, including specifically sharing the loneliness comment and the one that had referenced touching the human soul.
He also highlighted another quote on there. The third quote from the post that he shared on its own through his Instagram Story yesterday read: “We are not what happened to us, we are what we choose to become.”
It comes after Orlando previously shared some quotes from other sources just days ago. As reported at the time, he posted a quote attributed to Buddha that read: “Each day is a new beginning. What we do today is what matters most.”
Amid ongoing speculation over his relationship with singer-songwriter Katy, it’s been reported that they are “amicable”. A source told US Weekly for an article that was published last week: “It’s not contentious at the moment.”
The source claimed that the apparent separation has been “a long time coming,” adding that things between them have been “tense” for months. They said that Katy is “of course upset” but “relived” to not have a second divorce ahead of her.
