Broken Quotes

From person's movement patterns I can tell a lot of things: if pain is in the body, whether someone is depressed, what age they are.

You can recognize that movement of pulling away and protecting the heart across all cultures.

It suggests here, rather, the music which can come from the remaining cord’.

Broken up, deep inside, but you won't get to see the tears I cry.
Kelly Clarkson
