Pride is a wound and vanity is the scab on it. One's life picks at the scab to open that wound again and again. Among men it seldom heals and often grows septic.

Michael Ayrton

To forgive heals the wound, to forget heals the scar.

P. T. Barnum

Ella Leya

Margaret Starbird

A soldier's longing to talk about his experiences of battle is a wound that never heals.

Ralph Peters

An unacknowledged trauma is like a wound that never heals over and may start to bleed again at any time.

Alice Miller

They say that abandonment is a wound that never heals. I say only that an abandoned child never forgets.

Mario Balotelli

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

Belief is the wound that knowledge heals.

Ursula K. Le Guin

One service to need heals an ancient wound.

Mary Anne Radmacher

It is the use of creativity which heals the creative wound.

Julia Cameron

Literary Experience heals the wound, without undermining the privilege of individuality.. .Here, as in worship, in love, in moral action, and in knowing, I transcend myself; and am never more myself than when I do.

C. S. Lewis

Who said that time heals all wounds? It would be better to say that time heals everything - except wounds. With time, the hurt of separation loses its real limits. With time, the desired body will soon disappear, and if the desiring body has already ceased to exist for the other, then what remains is a wound, disembodied.
