He feels like a handle broken off a jug,
but the jug doesn't know it's broken and keeps going to the well.

I think it's very hard to allow God to break us. I think it's very hard to be broken. And I think that who the Lord loves He chastens, and that if we'll never be broken we'll never be saved. And that God doesn't break us because He hates us, or because He's angry at us, but we have to be broken, just like you have to break a horse.

 

Rich Mullins

 

In spite of all the dishonour,
the broken standards, the broken lives,
The broken faith in one place or another,
There was something left that was more than the tales
Of old men on winter evenings.

 

Thomas Stearns (T. S.) Eliot

 

You can play the game and you can act out the part.
Though you know it wasn't written for you.
But tell me, how can you stand there with your broken heart,
Ashamed of playing the fool?
One thing can lead to another; it doesn't take any sacrifice.
Oh, father and mother,and sister and brother,
If it feels nice, don't think twice.

 

James Taylor

 

One single person may oftentimes be broken, as it seemeth to himself, but the whole Body of Holy Church was never broken, nor never shall be, without end.

 

Julian of Norwich

 

Unbearable becomes the pain in my heart — 
When I think of my people, broken down,
broken by disease in mind and limb.
