About This Quote
Here is an example of a strong apology. This statement acknowledges the fact that you have done something wrong and you are sorry for it. In describing how you feel, you say that you have broken your apology. In other words, you are saying that you are broken by the fact that you have done something wrong.
The fact that you say this shows strength because it demonstrates the ability to accept responsibility for your actions. You are also not acting like a victim. You are accepting responsibility for your actions and taking responsibility for the pain caused by them.
It is very rare to find someone who takes this level of responsibility for their actions and the pain they cause.
