Famous quotes containing the words broke, heart and/or places:
“I would have broke mine eye-strings, cracked them, but
To look upon him, till the diminution
Of space had pointed him sharp as my needle;
Nay, followed him till he had melted from
The smallness of a gnat to air, and then
Have turned mine eye and wept.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Always the heart and the soul of our country will be the heart and the soul of the common man; the men and the women who never have ceased to believe in democracy. Who never have ceased to love their families, their home, and their country.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“The places we have known do not only belong to the world of space in which we situate them for the sake of simplicity. They were but a thin slice between contiguous impression which formed our lives back then; the memory of a certain image is but the regret of a certain instant; and the houses, the roads, the avenues are fleeting, alas! as the years.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
