“Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records. ”

“Under Adverse conditions - some people break down,some break records”

“Hopefully I can break some records, get some medals.”

“There are men put on this earth to make laws designed to break the spirits of men. There are those put here to have their spirits broken by those put here to break them. Then there are those who are here to break the laws that break the men who break the spirits of other men. I am one of those men. - Harry West”

“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.”

“Some men break your heart in two,Some men fawn and flatter,Some men never look at you;And that cleans up the matter.”
