A truly extraordinary work: vivid, passionate and utterly compelling. The Sound of One Hand Clapping is raw as a wound. It opens a world that is strange, brutal and poetic at once and ultimately achieves the kind of spirit-healing few novels do
Niall Williams

See! From the brake the whirring pheasant springs, And mounts exulting on triumphant wings Short is his joy! He feels the fiery wound, Flutters in blood, and panting beats the ground.
Alexander Pope

Ovid

Words are really powerful. I don't believe that axiom at all - words can absolutely hurt you. Words can wound. They can do a lot of damage. I think they can do way more damage than sticks and stones. I'll take sticks and stones.
Mary-Louise Parker
Image
If I hadn't become a golfer, I doubt I'd be wealthy, because I don't have the sort of ego that drives a person all day long. I might have wound up driving a tractor.
Fuzzy Zoeller

A magician is strong because he feels pain. He feels the difference between what the world is and what he would make of it. Or what did you think that stuff in your chest was? A magician is strong because he hurts more than others. His wound is his strength.
Lev Grossman
Image
Physician of the Iron Age, Goethe has done his pilgrimage. He took the suffering human race, He read each wound, each weakness clear -- And struck his finger on the place, And said -- Thou ailest here, and here.
Matthew Arnold
Image

Lev Grossman
Image
But a wound unfelt is a wound unhealed.
John Eldredge
Image
I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us. If the book we are reading doesn't wake us up with a blow on the head, what are we reading it for?
Franz Kafka
Image
The UK is not going to leave the European Union. Of course not. We are inextricably wound up with Europe. In terms of culture, history and geography, we are a European nation.
Nick Clegg
Image
A wound that goes unacknowledged and unwept is a wound that cannot heal.
John Eldredge
Image
From now on there is no longer any development immanent to art. The times have passed for history of art with a logical sense. There is no longer even any consistency in absurdities the development has been wound up, and what comes now already exists: the syncretism of a muddle of all styles and possibilities, post-history.
Arnold Gehlen
Image
The imagination is of so delicate a texture that even words wound it.
William Hazlitt
Image
You find that the injustice that created a wound is no longer true, right now, in this moment.
Miguel Angel Ruiz
Image
I have a lot of watches that need to be kept wound, so if I take two of them on a trip, there's always one sitting around. And if it sits around for a day, then it'll stop working. And then you have to reset the time and date, which is annoying.
Mark Teixeira
Image
It takes a lot to wound a man without illusions.
Ellis Peters
Image
Words are like weapons they wound sometimes.
Cher
Image
It is a sign of a perverse and treacherous disposition to wound the good name of another, when he has no opportunity of defending himself.
John Calvin
Image
Instead of getting wound up, simply relax your expectations of your family, friends, business associates...and yourself.
Bob Cox
Image
There is a difference between justice and consideration in one's relations to one's fellow men. It is the function of justice not to do wrong to one's fellow men of considerateness, not to wound their feelings.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
