Break

Famous quotes containing the word break:

“Many people now believe that if fathers are more involved in raising children than they were, children and sons in particular will learn that men can be warm and supportive of others as well as be high achievers. Thus, fathers’ involvement may be beneficial not because it will help support traditional male roles, but because it will help break them down.”
—Joseph H. Pleck (20th century)

“I am ashamed
That thou hast power to shake my manhood thus,
That these hot tears, which break from me perforce,
Should make thee worth them.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Pluck down my officers, break my decrees,
For now a time is come to mock at form.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
