“A torn jacket is soon mended; but hard words bruise the heart of a child.”

“No man would have torn himself from the comfort of a morning nap to listen to a minstrel in a jacket; none but a maid awakes to songs of love.”

“Weapons, when they break and are mended, can be stronger at the mended places. Perhaps hearts are the same.”

“Hey, does my stupidity give you the right to bruise a tender heart?"

"Yeah, yeah. I'm bruising a heart made of Play-Doh.”

“Problems of the heart always bruised the soul.”

“Words can bruise and break hearts, and minds as well. There are no black and blue marks, no broken bones to put in plaster casts, and therefore no prison bars for the offender.”

“Good-looking girls break hearts, and good-hearted girls mend them.”

“There is those hearts, reader, that never mend again once they are broken. Or if they do mend, they heal themselves is a crooked and lopsided way, as if sewn together by a careless craftsman.”

“So much magic, Clary thought, and nothing to mend a broken heart”

“Your heart is the beacon, your heart is the storm. Dare to embrace it; you'll never be torn.”
