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

“Even when the wound is healed, the scar remains.”

“Time may heal wounds, but it does not erase the scars.”

“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.”

“The scar of fire, the dint of steel,
Are easier than Love's wounds to heal.”

“There is something beautiful about all scars of whatever nature. A scar means the hurt is over, the wound is closed and healed, done with.”

“Someone has inflicted the wounds and scars you now possess, but healing is left to you alone.”

“Funny how internal scars never healed. They were the souvenirs of the past.”

“D'ye ken that the only time I am without pain is in your bed, Sassenach? When I take ye, when I lie in your arms-my wounds are healed, then, my scars forgotten.”

“What deep wounds ever closed without a scar?
The hearts bleed longest, and heals but to wear
That which disfigures it.”
