A Quote by Raquel Cepeda

For some, excavating the past isn’t an adventure, it’s more akin to tearing a Band-Aid off an open wound.

I'd wear any of my private attire for the world to see. But I would rather have an open flesh wound than ever wear a band aid in public.

Lady Gaga

Thanks, but that's not going to fix anything. It's like putting a Band-Aid on a bullet wound.

C.C. Hunter

At some point, you just pull off the Band-Aid, and it hurts, but then it's over and you're relieved.

John Green

Whenever I finish a book, I go off and have some kind of adventure. Having had an adventure in my writing chair or on my writing sofa, an internal adventure, then I need to balance that off with an external adventure, so I'll go tramping through Africa or whitewater rafting or float to Hawaii in a martini shaker or something.

Tom Robbins

The equation Bubble Tea = Something to Look Forward To depressurizes the misery of capitalism and is a Hello Kitty band-aid on the festering wound of Neo-Liberalism.

Vanessa Veselka

My mother would take the Band-Aid off, clean the wound, and say, "Things that are covered don't heal well." Mother was right. Things that are covered do not heal well.

T. D. Jakes

My own literary interest is more about excavating the past, or sensing the past inside the present. This requires all kinds of exclusions and sleights of hand. There's an admittedly antiquarian flavor to it, even though there's enough of the present included to lull the reader.

Teju Cole

I wanted so much to forget the past, but it wouldn't go away, it hung around like an open wound that refused to scar over, an open window that no amount of muscle could shut.

Elizabeth Wurtzel

Aid leads to more aid and more aid and more aid and less independence of the people that are receiving aid.

Paul Kagame

As you accept the responsibility to seek after truth with an open mind and a humble heart, you will become more tolerant of others, more open to listen, more prepared to understand, more inclined to build up instead of tearing down, and you will be more willing to go where God wants you to go.

Dieter F. Uchtdorf

The past is an open wound, a life force busily shaping an increasingly bewildering present.

Laura van den Berg

Legal aid gets a bad press. Some rail against handing taxpayers' money to criminals; others attack fat cat lawyers, while some argue that we spend far more on legal aid than other countries. But let's get some facts straight: saying that legal aid is just about criminals is wrong - most goes to people before any decision is taken on their guilt.

Sadiq Khan

The best way to break up with a girl is like I'm taking off a band-aid. Slowly and in the shower.

Anthony Jeselnik

Life can become once more a grand adventure if we will surrender it to god. He brings one adventure to an end, only to open another to us. With him we must be ready for anything.
