“Misery is a scar on the soul, that if it begins in childhood, it lasts the whole lifetime. I understand that no two scars are alike, but I also ask myself; even if these scars are not alike, aren’t these things engraved on our souls signed by which we know each other?Aren’t we also alike?”

“عرفت رجالاً يتجنبون الارتباط بالجميلات خوفاً من نظرات الاخرين التي تتساءل:هل يستحق هذا الرجل تلك المرأه”

“And that's where the whole trouble is. We're too much alike to understand each other because we don't even understand our own selves.”

“We [the Amish] look alike. We pray alike. We live alike. ...But none of these things mean we all think alike.”

“Do those scars cover the whole of you, like the stars and the moons on your dess? I though that would be pretty too, and I ask you right here please to agree with me that a scar is never ugly. That is what the scar makers want us to think. But you and I, we must make an agreement to defy them. "We must see all scars as beauty. OKay? This will be our secret. Because take it from me, a scar does not form on dying. A scar means, I survivied.”

“و لم اكن بحاجه الي مجهود كبير لكي اعرف انك بحاجه الي كل ما يردك طفله قبل ان تستيقظ فيك الانثي الناضجه”

“On the girl's brown legs there were many small white scars. I was thinking, Do those scars cover the whole of you, like the stars and the moons on your dress? I thought that would be pretty too, and I ask you right here please to agree with me that a scar is never ugly. That is what the scar makers want us to think. But you and I, we must make an agreement to defy them. We must see all scars as beauty. Okay? This will be our secret. Because take it from me, a scar does not form on the dying. A scar means, I survived.”
