Wounds

Famous quotes containing the word wounds:

“One writes of scars healed, a loose parallel to the pathology of the skin, but there is no such thing in the life of an individual. There are open wounds, shrunk sometimes to the size of a pin-prick but wounds still. The marks of suffering are more comparable to the loss of a finger, or the sight of an eye. We may not miss them, either, for one minute in a year, but if we should there is nothing to be done about it.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

“He does me double wrong
That wounds me with the flatteries of his tongue.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“And we, with all our wounds and all our powers,
Must each await alone at his own height
Another darkness or another light;”
—Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
