“The most beautiful heart of all is the one that can still love even while it bleeds, and especially after its been broken into thousands of pieces.”

“The human heart has a way of making itself large again even after it's been broken into a million pieces.”

“How children love the broken thing! And a puzzle is for the piecing together, especially for the young, who still believe it can be done.”

“Sometimes, the only soul that can mend a broken heart is the one that broke it. For they are the ones holding all the pieces.”

“Yet nothing can to nothing fall,Nor any place be empty quite;Therefore I think my breast hath allThose pieces still, though they be not unite;And now, as broken glasses showA hundred lesser faces, soMy rags of heart can like, wish, and adore,But after one such love, can love no more.”

“Better that one heart be broken a thousand times in the retelling, he has decided, if it means that a thousand other hearts need not be broken at all.”
