“I tried to allow my children to take risks, to test themselves. Better broken bones than broken spirit.”
“I'd rather have names to hurt me, than my bones broken with sticks and stones.”
“Even a broken life is better than no life at all.”
“I don't despise you for what you allowed to happen to me. I despise you because when I was released, you refused to be found and I needed you more than anything in my life. Not to mend my broken bones, Arjuro. I needed my brother to mend my broken spirit.”
“I’ll leave the door cracked, because cracked is better than broken.”
