“Life is the gathering of waves to a head, at death they break into a million fragments each one of which, however, is absorbed at once into the sea of life and helps to form a later generation which comes rolling on till it too breaks.”

“tt>break; /* don't do magic till later */</tt”

“Hundreds of life lessons are communicated and absorbed with every broken heart. So, let it break.”

“I want to break out — to leave this cycle of infection and death. I want to be taken in love: so taken that you and I, and death, and life, will be gathered inseparable, into the radiance of what we would become….”

“Break, break, break
At the foot of thy crags, O Sea!
But the tender grace of a day that is dead
Will never come back to me.”

“Things break all the time.
Day breaks, waves break, voices break.
Promises break.
Hearts break.”

“Earthquakes generate elastic waves when one block of material slides against another; the break between the two blocks being called a fault. Explosions generate elastic waves by an impulsive change in volume in the material. Small explosive charges are used in controlled-source seismic experiments in which the waves penetrate only a few kilometres into the earth.”

“Break a vase, and the love that reassembles the fragments is stronger than that love which took its symmetry for granted when it was whole.”

“I meant to write about death, only life came breaking in as usual”

“Be like the cliff against which the waves continually break; but it stands firm and tames the fury of the water around it.”
