When we scratch the wound and give into our addictions we do not allow the wound to heal.

Pema Chodron

A shaman is someone who has a wound that will not heal. He sits by the side of the road with his open wound exposed.

Rachel Naomi Remen

The less the head, the more the wound will heal. No head there is no wound. Live a headless life. Move as a total being, and accept things.

Rajneesh

For both the offender and the victim, the pain is there, often unacknowledged and that is when it can cause harm through festering. When I ignore a physical wound, it does not go away. No, it festers and goes bad.

Desmond Tutu

The wound that's made by fire will heal, But the wound that's made by tongue will never heal.

Thiruvalluvar

[...] We have to realize that this wound [of loneliness] is inherent in the human condition and that what we have to do is walk with it instead of fleeing from it. We cannot accept it until we discover that we are loved by God just as we are, and that the Holy Spirit in a mysterious way is living at the centre of the wound.

Jean Vanier

A wound in the soul, coming from the rending of the spiritual body, strange as it may seem, gradually closes like a physical wound. And once a deep wound heals over and the edges seem to have knit, a wound in the soul, like a physical wound, can be healed only by the force of life pushing up from inside. This was the way Natasha's wound healed. She thought her life was over. But suddenly her love for her mother showed her that the essence of life - love - was still alive in her. Love awoke, and life awoke.

Leo Tolstoy

The sorrow for the dead is the only sorrow from which we refuse to be divorced. Every other wound we seek to heal - every other affliction to forget: but this wound we consider it a duty to keep open - this affliction we cherish and brood over in solitude.
