“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.”
C.S. Lewis
“Don't trust the person who has broken faith once.”
William Shakespeare
“Blessed are the hearts that can bend; they shall never be broken.”
Albert Camus
“What becomes of the broken-hearted? They buy shoes”
Mimi Pond

Margaret Mitchell
“A single arrow is easily broken, but not ten in a bundle”
Japanese Proverb
“Broken promises don't upset me. I just think, why did they believe me?”
Jack Handy
“An ancient proverb summed it up: when a wizard is tired of looking for broken glass in his dinner, it ran, he is tired of life.”
Terry Pratchett

Jimmy Page
“Truth is a point, the subtlest and finest; harder than adamant; never to be broken, worn away or blunted. Its only bad quality is, that it is sure to hurt those who touch it; and likely to draw blood, perhaps the life blood of those who press earnestly upon it.”
Walter Savage Landor
