Broken Quotes

My mother was a restorer, she repaired broken things. I don’t do that. I destroy things. I cannot go the straight line. I must destroy, rebuild, destroy again. My rhythm is not the same. My mother moved in a straight line: I go from one extreme to the other Picture Quote #1

The waves have rolled upon me, the billows are repeatedly broken over me, yet I am not sunk down Picture Quote #1

Being in love means you are completely broken, then put back together. The one piece that was yours is beating in your lover’s breast. She says the same thing about hers Picture Quote #1

The appeal of science fiction has always been its iconoclasm... But in order to be an iconoclast, an author must be more than merely aware of the idol he wishes to destroy. He must be intimate with it and understand it in all its aspects. This means that he must have devoted serious thought to it, and have beliefs of his own which will stand up in the place of the broken idol. In other words, any child can complain, but it takes an adult to clash with accepted beliefs... an adult with ideas Picture Quote #1

Broken I run to you for your arms are open wide. I am weary but I know your touch restores my life Picture Quote #1

The worse the country, the more tortured it is by water and wind, the more broken and carved, the more it attracts fossil hunters, who depend on the planet to open itself to us. We can only scratch away at what natural forces have brought to the surface Picture Quote #1

Fossil bones and footsteps and ruined homes are the solid facts of history, but the surest hints, the most enduring signs, lie in those miniscule genes. For a moment we protect them with our lives, then like relay runners with a baton, we pass them on to be carried by our descendents. There is a poetry in genetics which is more difficult to discern in broken bomes, and genes are the only unbroken living thread that weaves back and forth through all those boneyards Picture Quote #1

No one would ever say that someone with a broken arm or a broken leg is less than a whole person, but people say that or imply that all the time about people with mental illness Picture Quote #1

I see a broken shell and I remind myself that something might have needed setting free. See, broken things always have a story, don’t they? Picture Quote #1

The problem with promises is that once you’ve made one, it’s bound to be broken. It’s like anunspoken cosmic rule Picture Quote #1

I gave you my love, I gave you my heart, I gave you everything you ever wanted and all you did was take it for granted... leaving me broken hearted Picture Quote #1

I love what you might call brutal elegance. Where form and function are really obvious. There is nothing easily broken in this house Picture Quote #1

When you’re in a broken family and your role model is a violent male, boys grow up believing that’s the way they’re supposed to act. And girls think that’s an accepted way men will treat them Picture Quote #1

I was heart broken, scared, I had a lot of anxiety, I was worried, I felt weak, and I had no idea how I was ever going to come up with the strength. But I just closed my eyes, and took a blind leap. I knew I had to get out of there Picture Quote #1

At the age of 11 I was about 6 ft. tall and my voice had completely broken. That caused problems. I was this gangly, spotty, very unattractive kid. I wasn’t cool and I wasn’t a nerd. I didn’t even want to fit in with anyone Picture Quote #1

And if I know anything at all, it’s that a wall is just a wall and nothing more at all. It can be broken down Picture Quote #1

Best to let the broken glass be broken glass, let it splinter into smaller pieces and dust and scatter. Let the cracks between things widen until they are no longer cracks but the new places for things. That was where they were now. The world wasn’t ending: it had ended and now they were in the new place. They could not recognize it because they had never seen it before Picture Quote #1

Photography in our time leaves us with a grave responsibility. While we are playing in our studios with broken flowerpots, oranges, nude studies and still lifes, one day we know that we will be brought to account: life is passing before our eyes without our ever having seen a thing Picture Quote #1

I continue to get further away from the usual painter’s tools such as easel, palette, brushes, etc. I prefer sticks, trowels, knives and dripping fluid paint or a heavy impasto with sand, broken glass or other foreign matter added Picture Quote #1

The wife picked out ceramic tile for floor covering, not realizing that cost was determined by square foot, not square yard like carpet. Thinking the price was plenty reasonable, she had an extra room of tile ordered for installation. When the bill arrived, it was staggering. She and her husband began a fight that continued all through the construction job. They ended up divorced, but not until she had broken every window Picture Quote #1

As individual fingers we can easily be broken, but all together we make a mighty fist Picture Quote #1

Everything he’s done is clean as a whistle. He’s never not only broken any law, he’s never done anything wrong Picture Quote #1

History is not ended. It will sooner or later take up the threads apparently broken off forever and knit them together in a new pattern Picture Quote #1

Never buy an editor or publisher a lunch or a drink until he has bought an article, story or book from you. This rule is absolute and may be broken only at your peril Picture Quote #1

Truth is, I don’t mind getting a black eye or broken arm for a girl as long as she’s there to kiss it after Picture Quote #1

Music is the cup that holds the wine of silence. Sound is that cup, but empty. Noise is that cup, but broken Picture Quote #1

I am not sick. I am broken. But I am happy as long as I can paint Picture Quote #1

A bird with a broken wing was beating the air above, reeling, fluttering, circling disabled, down, down to the water Picture Quote #1

The point is that something I thought was perfect has been broken, and I’m having to find the beauty in what is there instead of what I thought was there. Like this shell. I can either spend all my time wishing it were perfect, trying to imagine it the way it was or might have been, or I can see how beautiful it is just like this Picture Quote #1

I said to myself, we must die. Sooner or later, we must disappear forever from the face of the earth. Whatever be the links that hold us to life, they must be broken. This scene of existence is, in all its parts, calamitous Picture Quote #1
