'I will break you all', sworn on the ring for Langley (ch. 25); 'Goddamn you. You will not break me', over a dying vampire, with a hand on Donut's head (ch. 47); 'You will not break me. You will not fucking break me', dragged toward the queen (ch. 73); and Donut, afterwards: 'I think something inside of me has broken' (ch. 77).
