A Farewell to Arms • 1929
The world breaks us all. Afterward, some are stronger at the broken places.

What it means
Our interpretation.
The quotation describes life's damage as something nobody entirely escapes. Its second sentence leaves room for a different outcome after that damage. Some people, it suggests, can become stronger where they were hurt, turning the image of breaking toward recovery.
