Sample Code

    <apex:outputText value="{!str2}"></apex:outputText>

</apex:page>

Controller code

    public string str2 {get; set;}

    public BreakString1Controller (){
        str2 = str1;
    }
}

Answer 1

Use Following

<apex:outputText escape="false" value="{!str2}"></apex:outputText>

Controller:

public class BreakString1Controller {

   public string str1 = 'Quick brown fox jumps <br/>'+' over the lazy dog';
   public string str2 {get; set;}

   public BreakString1Controller (){
     str2 = str1;
   }
 }

OutPut :

escape="false":
If the String you want to display contains HTML or XML-reserved characters, you need to use escape="false" so that Your Chars and other characters are not interpretted as VF page markup.

Also please refer to following question before using escape = false
