“Scars are the paler pain of survival received unwillingly and displayed in the language of injury.”

“… A scar signifies past pain, a wound that did not heal as it ought. But it testifies, too, to survival…(Here be Dragons)”

“A scar is what happens when the word is made flesh.
It is easy to display a wound, the proud scars of combat. It is hard to show a pimple.”

“Receive an injury rather than do one.”

“We all acquire two types of scars; one is visible for all to see and the other resides deep within us. Both possess pain but others can only determine if the external scars have healed. The emotional scars within are usually more painful and can linger for years.”

“Scars are just a treasure map for pain you've buried too deep to remember.”

“Scars speak for you. They say you're strong, and you've survived something that might have killed others.”

“I don't regret the painful times; I bare my scars as if they were medals.”

“Each person feels pain in his own way, each has his own scars.”

“A new pain enters and the old pains of the household receive it with their silence, not with their death.”
