“When a family breaks you don't hear the crack of the breaking. You don't hear a sound.”
“Can I tell you something you really don't want to hear? He's going to break up with you. - Stuart”
“Families break up when they get hints you don't intend and miss hints that you do.”
“Yeah, don't you take a break?''I don't have time for breaks.''That's the whole point of a break. When you've got no time, you need a break.”
“Our family used to be like this strong cup,” thought Francie. “It was whole and sound and held things well. When papa died, the first crack came. And this fight tonight made another crack. Soon there will be so many cracks that the cup will break and we'll all be pieces instead of the whole thing together. I don't want this to happen, yet I'm deliberately making a deep crack.”
“I can still hear you sayin'You will never break the chain”
