“Scars are badges of strength and courage. They tell the story of what we have endured. Only survivors wear them.”
“A scar is a sign of strength. . .the sign of a survivor.”
“We are wearing coats of trust. When one tells a story this is what happens.”
“All we have is the story we tell. Everything we do, every decision we make, our strength, weakness, motivation, history, and character-what we believe-none of it is real; it's all part of the story we tell. But here's the thing: it's our goddamned story!”
“It's the responsibility of the survivor to tell the story.”
“We draw our strength from the pains and despairs in which we have been forced to endure. But because of that strength, we shall endure.”
