Broken Quotes
The law cannot forgive, for the law has not been wronged, only broken; only persons can be wronged. The law can pardon, but it can only pardon what it has the power to punish.
Wystan Hugh Auden
Do not be too hard, lest you be broken; do not be too soft, lest you be squeezed.

Promises and pie crusts are made to be broken.
Jonathan Swift

Better a broken promise than none at all.
Mark Twain
The promise given was a necessity of the past: the word broken is a necessity of the present.
Niccolò Machiavelli
On the whole, "organic" illnesses of the body are viewed as a misfortune over which the victim has little control. Not so for "mental" illnesses. These diseases of the mind become diseases of the "self." We (our "selves") can distance ourselves from our "bodily" illnesses: "my leg is broken" or "my heart is failing." But, because of mind-body dualism, our mind is our self. "My mind is sick" is not differentiated psychologically from "I am sick." We cannot distance ourselves, take a detached view of our minds: we are our minds. When a disease affects brain function, the afflicted person and those around him feel that the "self" must be somehow in control of the disorder of "self."
Jean M. Goodwin

Charles Horton Cooley

Nancy Astor
A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship, as experience shows that the callosity formed around a broken bone makes it stronger than before.

Congratulate yourselves if you have done something strange and extravagant and broken the monotony of a decorous age.
