One cannot serve this Eros without becoming a stranger in society as it is today one cannot commit oneself to this form of love without incurring a mortal wound.
Klaus Mann
Image
The gentle fair on nervous tea relies, Whilst gay good-nature sparkles in her eyes An inoffensive scandal fluttering round, Too rough to tickle, and too light to wound.
George Crabbe
Image
This is a difficult balance, telling the truth: how much to share, how much to keep, which truths will wound but not ruin, which will cut too deep to heal.
Ally Condie
Image
The deepest healing is the healing of the deepest wound. The deepest wound is the frustration of the deepest need. The deepest need is the need for meaning, purpose, and hope.
Peter Kreeft
Image
How sweet, the presence of Jesus to the longing, harassed soul! It is instant peace, and balm to every wound.
Elizabeth Ann Seton
Image
The fundamental human right, the presupposition of every other right, is the right to life itself. This is true of life from the moment of conception until its natural end. Abortion, consequently, cannot be a human right – it is the very opposite. It is “a deep wound in society”.
Pope Benedict XVI
Image
Desire is an appetite, quickly sated. Longing is a wound, an opening in the heart or the spirit. Whatever the cause, whatever the duration, it almost always leaves a scar.
Philip Sington
Image
What he would say, he cannot say to this woman whose openness is like a wound, whose youth is not mortal yet. He cannot alter what he loves most in her, her lack of compromise, where the romance of the poems she loves still sits with ease in the real world. Outside these qualities he knows there is no order in the world.
Michael Ondaatje
Image
We can rarely tell others what we really think about them--not just because it would so wound them, but also because it would so wound ourselves.
Douglas Kennedy
Image
It is absurd to think that the only way to tell if a poem is lasting is to wait and see if it lasts. The right reader of a good poem can tell the moment it strikes him that he has taken an immortal wound-that he will never get over it.
Robert Frost
Image
I'll tell you, when you have wounds that are as deep as were caused by the genocide, the first thing you do is try to create some way to pull the wound together. And it may be artificial until the skin grows back.
Swanee Hunt
Image
As liberty and intelligence have increased the people have more and more revolted against the theological dogmas that contradict common sense and wound the tenderest sensibilities of the soul.
Catharine Beecher
Image
Suppressing your hurts is like not tending to a bullet wound. Eventually you will bleed out. Dont numb pain, express it.
LeCrae
Image
One service to need heals an ancient wound.
Mary Anne Radmacher
Image
First try all other means, but if the wound Heal not, then use the knife, lest to the clean From the diseased the canker spread.
Ovid
Image
I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us.
Franz Kafka
Image
The war does not end when you come home. It lives on in memories of your fellow soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who gave their lives. It endures in the wound that is slow to heal, the disability that isn't going away, the dream that wakes you at night, or the stiffening in your spine when a car backfires down the street.
Barack Obama
Image
Watch constantly against those things which are thought to be no temptations. The most poisonous serpents are found where the sweetest flowers grow. Cleopatra was poisoned by an asp that was brought to her in a basket of fair flowers. Sharp-edged tools, long handled, wound at last.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
From every wound there is a scar, and every scar tells a story. A story that says, I survived.
Craig Scott
Image
Don't worry. It's just a flesh wound.
David Letterman
Image
One time on a dive, I wound up drifting up in darkness surrounded by billions of photoluminescent creatures. It was a religious experience, one only a poet could do justice to.
Graham Hawkes
Image
You also get so wound up playing a show that a lot of people need something to bring them down. People who don't know how to handle the situation take drugs. I didn't. I went back to my room with milk and cookies.
Johnny Ramone
Image
Love receives its death-wound from aversion, and forgetfulness buries it.
Jean de la Bruyere
Image
Say, Nana... You look like stray cat, wild and proud. But I can see the wound in your heart. At the time I just thought it was cool. I never realized how hurt you were.
Ai Yazawa
