Breaks Quotes

Some things bend, some things break.

"Breaks" turns out to be a surprisingly flexible word across these quotes — a single twig snapping while a bundle holds strong, a job that breaks more friendships than it makes, even daybreak reimagined as heartbreak instead of dawn.

A single twig breaks, but the bundle of twigs is strong.
