“Wounds are like water set to boil – they heal best left unwatched...”
“I set the water to its hottest setting, wishing it was labeled, “boil the hell out of any living organism.”
“The defects and faults of the mind are like wounds in the body. After all imaginable care has been taken to heal them up, still there will be a scar left behind.”
“The reality cuts across our minds like a wound whose edges crave to heal, but cannot. Thus, one of the great sins, perhaps the great sin, is to say: It will heal; it has healed; there is no wound. There is nothing more important than this wound.”
“Some wounds should be healed, no matter how much time has passed or how much time is left.”
“But shame is like a wound that is never exposed and therefore never heals.”
