“I’m not brave any more darling. I’m all broken. They’ve broken me.”

“Strong in all the Broken Places”

“My heart's broken,' he thought. 'If I feel this way my heart must be broken.”

“We are stronger in our broken places.”

“We're stronger in the places that we've been broken.”

“The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places.”

“If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.”
