When you meet a man who is broken, pick him up and carry him. When you meet a woman who’s broken, put her all into your arms. Cause we don’t know where we come from … we don’t know where we are.

Laurie Anderson
About This Quote

This quote is about the importance of being a shoulder to cry on. It is a reminder that we will grow and become stronger as we work through the hard times in our lives. We have to love ourselves enough to be there for ourselves when we are broken. We all need someone to pick us up and carry us when we are down, but only those who love themselves enough to be there for themselves when they are down will understand what it means to pick someone else up and carry them as well.
