Wound Quotes

It is easier to tell a story of how people wound one another than of what binds them together Picture Quote #1

Desire is an appetite, quickly sated. Longing is a wound, an opening in the heart or the spirit. Whatever the cause, whatever the duration, it almost always leaves a scar Picture Quote #1

The things that really shake the human soul aren’t beauty or kindness. Although such things are certainly moving, but those feelings don’t last long. But... anger or sadness are different. They leave an undelible mark. Even after the wound heals... you can never forget the pain completely Picture Quote #1

Because every one of us has our box, a dark chamber stowing the thing that lanced our heart. It contains what you do everything for, strive for, wound everything around you Picture Quote #1

To kill someone, even treacherously is more manly than to wound a friend by betraying his confidence Picture Quote #1

Pride is a wound, and vanity is the scab on it. One’s life picks at the scab to open the wound again and again. In men, it seldom heals and often grows septic Picture Quote #1

I had size 12 feet when I was 10, so I thought I was going to be 6 8. My goal was to be able to dunk a basket. I wound up being 6 1 with size 14 feet. I got the raw end of the deal Picture Quote #1

In the hero stories, the call to go on a journey takes the form of a loss, an error, a wound, an unexplainable longing, or a sense of a mission. When any of these happens to us, we are being summoned to make a transition. It will always mean leaving something behind,... The paradox here is that loss is a path to gain Picture Quote #1

A single girl who needs nobody makes people uncomfortable, and my mom is right in this, appearance is everything, and appearing to have no one is like swimming alone in the middle of the ocean with a flesh wound Picture Quote #1

Strange the workings of the heart. One could go on for years, habituated to loss, reconciled to it, and then, in a moments unwary thought, the pain resurfaced, sharp and raw as a fresh wound Picture Quote #1

If you take a shot at someone, you keep firing until they can no longer return fire. Wound them, and you have an angry enemy who knows your position Picture Quote #1

You can fall in love and make love many times but there is only one bullet with your name etched on the side. And if you are lucky enough to be shot with that bullet then the wound never heals Picture Quote #1

Loneliness is the worst pain in this world. It constantly eats away the person’s heart, and can cause the person to hate, to feel enraged. It is like a wound of the heart; the type of wounds that cannot go away with a kiss or a hug. The only thing that can make this great pain go away is love and compassion, another human heart to pull them out of this hell Picture Quote #1

An unacknowledged trauma is like a wound that never heals over and may start to bleed again at any time Picture Quote #1

A flock of sheep near the airport or a high voltage generator beside the orchard: these combinations open up my life like a wound, but they also heal it. That’s why my feelings always come in twos Picture Quote #1

This is a difficult balance, telling the truth: how much to share, how much to keep, which truths will wound but not ruin, which will cut too deep to heal Picture Quote #1

We’re creatures of contact regardless of whether/ we kiss or we wound. Still, we must come together Picture Quote #1

I suppose I do believe that the greatest art consoles a wound that it creates, that art can give you the capacity to endure and respond to the pain it forces you to feel. Psychological pain, I mean Picture Quote #1

I don’t think my work is so much about opening up wounds. I think it’s about understanding the nature of the wound. I’m not bleeding on the canvas. I, like most people, have suffered traumatic events. The character of a person’s life is determined by the way they deal with those events. I am a creative person and I deal with it creatively Picture Quote #1

They say that abandonment is a wound that never heals. I say only that an abandoned child never forgets Picture Quote #1

I was the one with the open wound, and the river waters turned red when I bathed in them. My sadness is greater than the heavens Picture Quote #1

Afflictions, like bills and pikes, make a terrible show when they cannot reach us; but the temptations of prosperity, like unseen bullets, wound and kill us before they are discerned Picture Quote #1

No matter what ailed you, you went to see the barber surgeon who wound up cupping you, bleeding you, purging you. And, oh yes, if you wanted, he would give you a haircut and pull your tooth while he was at it Picture Quote #1

In flight... entire days can be wound back or skipped over... as we exist merely in a world of vapor. Adventures are both beginning and coming to a close up here as people from opposite ends of experience paradoxically move in one direction Picture Quote #1

In order to live fully we may need to look deeply at our own suffering and at the suffering of others. In the depths of every wound we have survived is the strength we need to live. The wisdom our wounds can offer us is a place of refuge. Finding this is not for the faint of heart. But then, neither is life Picture Quote #1

For the writer, discovering the work he will write is both like a miracle and a wound, like the miracle of the wound Picture Quote #1

You also get so wound up playing a show that a lot of people need something to bring them down. People who don’t know how to handle the situation take drugs. I didn’t. I went back to my room with milk and cookies Picture Quote #1

Sometimes a savage beauty lured me into the sun and I would start to love the danger a little. On these occasions I felt the reluctant love drained painfully from me as blood drains from a deep wound. The tigers lapped my love’s blood and remained enemies. The inhabitants of the day laughed at the gift I wanted to bring them, and I shut myself in my inner room to escape the betrayal of their arrogant mouths Picture Quote #1

There are two extremes to avoid: being completely absorbed in your pain and being distracted by so many things that you stay far away from the wound you want to heal Picture Quote #1

Don’t love deeply, till you make sure that the other part loves you with the same depth, because the depth of your love today, is the depth of your wound tomorrow Picture Quote #1
