Broken

Famous quotes containing the word broken:

    How else but through a broken heart
    May Lord Christ enter in?
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    Injurious Time now, with a robber’s haste,
    Crams his rich thievery up, he knows not how;
    As many farewells as be stars in heaven,
    With distinct breath and consigned kisses to them,
    He fumbles up into a loose adieu,
    And scants us with a single famished kiss,
    Distasted with the salt of broken tears.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    A broken altar, Lord, thy servant rears,
    Made of a heart, and cemented with tears:
    Whose parts are as thy hand did frame;
    No workman’s tool hath touched the same.
    George Herbert (1593–1633)
