O! many a shaft at random sent
Finds mark the archer little meant!
And many a word, at random spoken,
May soothe or wound a heart that's broken!

 
Walter Scott
 

When your heart has been broken,
Hard words have been spoken.
It ain't easy - but it's only love.

 
Bryan Adams
 

I was never fit to say a word to a sinner, except when I had a broken heart myself.

 
Edward Payson
 

Advice is cheap you can take it from me.
It's yours to keep 'cause opinions are free.
Nobody knows about the trouble I've seen.
Nobody's perfect, mister, nobody's clean.
It cost too much and takes too long to find out too late.
Some words are not heard 'til after they're spoken.
Your role was protective, your soul was too defective.
Some people just don't have a heart to be broken.

 
Billy Joel
 

Written words differ from spoken words in being material structures. A spoken word is a process in the physical world, having an essential time-order; a written word is a series of pieces of matter, having an essential space-order.

 
Bertrand Russell
