“It seems to me that
there are more hearts broken in the world
that can't be mended,
left unattended.
What do we do?
What do we do?”

Gilbert O'Sullivan (1946) Irish singer-songwriter

“As an egg, when broken, never
Can be mended, but must ever
Be the same crushed egg for ever—
So shall this dark heart of mine!”

Thomas Holley Chivers (1809–1858) 19th century American poet
