“Things break all the time. Glass and dishes and fingernails. Cars and contracts and potato chips. You can break a record, a horse, a dollar. You can break the ice. There are coffee breaks and lunch breaks and prison breaks. Day breaks, waves break, voices break. Chains can be broken. So can silence, and fever... promises break. Hearts break.”
“I don’t think anyone who falls in love has a choice. You’re just pulled to that person like true north, whether it’s good for you or bound to break your heart.”
“Things that break - be they bones, hearts, or promises - can be put back together but will never really be whole.”
“Can you see the pond?"From up here, I can. It is a piece of sky, lying on the ground. When Heaven breaks, who fixes it?”
“Things break all the time.Day breaks, waves break, voices break.Promises break.Hearts break.”
“Safety is relative. You can be so close to shore that you can practically feel it under your feet, when you suddenly find yourself breaking apart on the rocks.”
