I have woven a parachute out of everything broken.

William Stafford Poet

One of the major symptoms of the general crisis existent in our world today is our lack of sensitivity to words. We use words as tools. We forget that words are a repository of the spirit. The tragedy of our times is that the vessels of the spirit are broken. We cannot approach the spirit unless we repair the vessels. Reverence for words - an awareness of the wonder of words, of the mystery of words - is an essential prerequisite for prayer. By the word of God the world was created.

Abraham Joshua Heschel Rabbi

Nobody goes through life without having their heart broken and one day you'll wake up and it'll be okay.

Alexa Chung Presenter

All we are is eyes looking for the unbroken or the edges where the broken bits might fit each other.

Ali Smith Writer

There must be room for penitence to mend Life's broken chance; else noise of wars would unmake heaven.

Alice Cary Poet

You can't truly have an open heart until it's been broken.

Alice Walker Author
