“They say that time heals the pain
Till only love remains.”

“It has been said that time heals all wounds, I don't agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue, and the pain lessens, but is never gone.”

Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy (1890–1995) American philanthropist and mother of John F. Kennedy

“Time does not heal all wounds; there are those that remain painfully open.”

“If we only have love
We can reach those in pain
We can heal all our wounds
We can use our own names.”

Rod McKuen (1933–2015) American poet, songwriter, composer, and singer

“What to say? That the end of love is a haunting. A haunting of dreams. A haunting of silence. Haunted by ghosts it is easy to become a ghost. Life ebbs. The pulse is too faint. Nothing stirs you. Some people approve of this and call it healing. It is not healing. A dead body feels no pain.”

Jeanette Winterson (1959) English writer

“Remember only this of our hopeless love
That never till Time is done
Will the fire of the heart and the fire of the mind be one.”

“A person with no children says, "Well I just love children," and you say "Why?" and they say, "Because a child is so truthful, that's what I love about 'em — they tell the truth." That's a lie, I've got five of 'em. The only time they tell the truth is if they're having pain.”

Bill Cosby (1937) American actor, comedian, author, producer, musician, activist
