Heart broken Quote by Peter Straub
““The wizard stirs, opens his eyes, and looks at the reluctant boy. “Oh, you’ll get your heart broken,” he says. “Is that what you’re waiting to hear? It’ll be broken, all right. But you'll never get anything done if you walk around with an unchipped heart. That’s the way of it, boy.””
