- The topic of Everyone Breaks alludes to the resilience and adaptability of individuals in the face of adversity, as echoed through Ernest Hemingway's words in his novel "A Farewell to Arms" that, everyone faces challenges in life, where overcoming such difficulties can make a person stronger. Hemingway's quote implies that life's trials and tribulations push one's boundaries, often leading to personal evolution and the strengthening of character. Contrarily, however, those unable to cope with these challenges may succumb to it. At the core, this perception of adversity sees it less as a debilitating factor and more as an instrument for individual growth and improvement. On a tangential note, there are misattributions and fabrications of Hemingway's quotes, emphasizing the importance of fact-checking and diligent research when dealing with such forms of information. There is also a discussion on musical satire as showcased in the long-running animated show 'South Park,' although it does not correlate directly with Hemingway's sentiment or the theme of overcoming adversity.

- A Farewell to Arms is a novel by American writer Ernest Hemingway, set during the Italian campaign of World War I. First published in 1929, it is a first-person account of an American, Frederic Henry, serving as a lieutenant () in the ambulance corps of the Italian Army. The novel describes a love affair between the American expatriate and an English nurse, Catherine Barkley.
Its publication ensured Hemingway's place as a modern American writer of considerable stature.[1] The book became his first best-seller and has been called "the premier American war novel from [...] World War I".[2] The title might be taken from a 16thcentury poem of the same name by the English dramatist George Peele.
The novel has been adapted a number of times: initially for the stage in 1930; as a film in 1932, and again in 1957; and as a three-part television miniseries in 1966. The film In Love and War, made in 1996, depicts Hemingway's life in Italy as an ambulance driver in events prior to his writing of A Farewell to Arms.

- “If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.” (2187 likes)

- “That night at the hotel, in our room with the long empty hall outside and our shoes outside the door, a thick carpet on the floor of the room, outside the windows the rain falling and in the room light and pleasant and cheerful, then the light out and it exciting with smooth sheets and the bed comfortable, feeling that we had come home, feeling no longer alone, waking in the night to find the other one there, and not gone away; all other things were unreal. We slept when we were tired and if we woke the other one woke too so one was not alone. Often a man wishes to be alone and a girl wishes to be alone too and if they love each other they are jealous of that in each other, but I can truly say we never felt that. We could feel alone when we were together, alone against the others ... But we were never lonely and never afraid when we were together. I know that the night is not the same as the day: that all things are different, that the things of the night cannot be explained in the day, because they do not then exist, and the night can be a dreadful time for lonely people once their loneliness has started. But with Catherine there was almost no difference in the night except that it was an even better time. If people bring so much courage to the world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of
