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

“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.”

“The wounds of the spirit heal and leave no scars.”

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

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

“The scars remain and the wounds are still deep.”

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

“Comrades and friends! for ours is strength
Has brooked the test of woes;
O worse-scarred hearts! these wounds at length
The Gods will heal, like those.”

“In one year I learned as much about anti-Semitism as would be enough for three mens' lifetimes. For you cannot wound the sacred convictions of a people, what their heart loves and respects, without causing deep pain and shedding the heart's blood. It was 17 years ago, and my heart bleeds yet.”

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