Broken

Famous quotes containing the word broken:

“My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)

“The broken pillar of the wing jags from the clotted shoulder,
The wing trails like a banner in defeat,”
—Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

“When we have broken our god of tradition, and ceased from our god of rhetoric, then may God fire the heart with his presence.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
