“Events That Haunt The Mind And Scar It With Nightmares Are Never What They Seem...”

“People can't seem to get it through their heads that there is never any healing or closure. Ever. There is only a short pause before the next "horrifying" event. People forget there is such a thing as memory, and that when a wound "heals" it leaves a permanent scar that never goes away, but merely fades a little. What really ought to be said after one of these so-called tragedies is, "Let the scarring begin.”

“I will give them nightmares to haunt their dreams long after I'm gone.”

“Never mind. The self is the least of it. Let our scars fall in love”

“A scar is never ugly. That is what the scar makers want us to think. A scar does not form on the dying. A scar means, I survived.”

“The past does not haunt us. We haunt the past. We allow our minds to focus in that direction. We open memories and examine them. We reexperience emotions we felt during the painful events we experienced because we are recalling them in as much detail as we can.”
