Shattered

Famous quotes containing the word shattered:

    Better to be shattered jade than unbroken pottery.

    But even at the starting post, all sleek and new,
    I saw the wildness in her and I thought
    A vision of terror that it must live through
    Had shattered her soul.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    It tosses up our losses, the torn seine,
    The shattered lobster pot, the broken oar
    And the gear of foreign dead men. The sea has many voices,
    Many gods and many voices.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
