“Every blade has two edges; he who wounds with one wounds himself with the other.”

“The two are now bound inextricably. Should one die, the other will follow. No wepon in this world can wound only one of them”

“And a blade twitched into his heart, beginning the slow, massive bleeding he would never be able to stop, no matter what else he might accomplish. He was surprised and puzzled as he walked with that mortal wound in him, for it occurred to him that, although the wound would be the death of him, it would be the life of him too.”

“On one side is the call of Christ, on the other is death,
We are caught in a conflict, hard to resolve.
Having received many a wound, for more of wounds he craves,
Mark the courage of helpless Bismil, how he suffers unfazed!”

“The deepest wounds aren't the ones we get from other people hurting us. They are the wounds we give ourselves when we hurt other people.”

“For every wound, the ointment of time.”

“The sorrow for the dead is the only sorrow from which we refuse to be divorced. Every other wound we seek to heal — every other affliction to forget: but this wound we consider it a duty to keep open — this affliction we cherish and brood over in solitude.”

“The man who has been wounded by a chance arrow must not shoot at sight the first man he happens to meet.”

“And even the renowned king Arthur himself was mortally wounded; and being carried thence to the isle of Avallon to be cured of his wounds, he gave up the crown of Britain to his kinsman Constantine, the son of Cador, duke of Cornwall.”
Set et inclitus ille rex Arturus letaliter vulneratus est qui illuc ad sananda vulnera sua in insulam Avallonis evectus, Constantino cognato suo, et filio Cadoris ducis Cornubie diadema Britannie concessit.

“One learns better than to hand one's choices to fear. With age, with every wound and scar, one learns.”
