“Gaza is a wound that will never stop bleeding.”

“There are wounds that never show on the body that are deeper and more hurtful than anything that bleeds.”

“When someone's wounded, the first order of business is to stop the bleeding. You can figure out later how best to help them heal.”

“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.”

“I healed. Not completely. A scar is never the same as good flesh, but it stops the bleeding.”

“sorrow… is a wound that bleeds when any hand but that of
love touches it”

“Here sits the Unicorn;
The wounds in his side
Still bleed”

“Moral wounds have this peculiarity - they may be hidden, but they never close; always painful, always ready to bleed when touched, they remain fresh and open in the heart.”

“When he is wounded, I bleed. {page 262 of John Adams}”

“The rain
Never falls upwards.
When the wound
Stops hurting
What hurts is
The scar.”
