“Things that break - be they bones, hearts, or promises - can be put back together but will never really be whole.”

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

“When our hearts break, they break into shards that cannot be easily fit back together.”

“If you come back; I'll marry you. If you break your promise, you'll break my heart”

“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.”

“If you don't understand something, break it apart; reduce it to its components. Since they are simpler than the whole, you have a much better chance of understanding them; and when you have succeeded in doing that, put the whole thing back together again.”

“when things break, it's not the actual breaking that prevents them from getting back together again. it's because a little piece gets lost -- the two remaining ends couldn't fit together even if they wanted to. the whole shape has changed.”

“Yelling at living things does tend to kill the spirit in them. Sticks and stones may break our bones, but words will break our hearts.”

“You give me love
Just to break my heart
Put me back together
Just to pull me a part
You give me a hand and kick me to the ground”

“Sticks and stones may break our bones, but words will break our hearts.”
