Wounds

Famous quotes containing the word wounds:

    Entrance and exit wounds are silvered clean,
    The track aches only when the rain reminds.
    The one-legged man forgets his leg of wood.
    The one-armed man his jointed wooden arm.
    The blinded man sees with his ears and hands
    As much or more than once with both his eyes.
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    ...he who commits adultery has no sense; he who does it destroys himself. He will get wounds and dishonor, and his disgrace will not be wiped away. For jealousy arouses a husband’s fury, and he shows no restraint when he takes revenge.
    Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 6:32-34.

    My talk to thee must be how Benedick
    Is sick in love with Beatrice. Of this matter
    Is little Cupid’s crafty arrow made,
    That only wounds by hearsay.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
