About This Quote
A broken sword is a weapon that has lost its usefulness. It may still be able to cut, but it now lacks the sharpness and precision it once had. The analogy here is that our conversations can be like a conversation with a broken sword. Our words may come out well and we may even seem like we know what we’re talking about, but we lack the passion and drive we once had.
