#scars

"Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars."

"Contrary to what we may have been taught to think, unnecessary and unchosen suffering wounds us but need not scar us for life. It does mark us. What we allow the mark of our suffering to become is in our own hands."

"The marks humans leave are too often scars."

"Scars are but evidence of life,"Coquette said. "Evidence of choices to be learned from...evidence of wounds...wounds inflicted of mistakes...wounds we choose to allow the healing of. We likewise choose to see them, that we may not make the same mistakes again."

"It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone."

"You can't be a rebel without the scars that come with it. Truth is, some days scars are just as ugly as they are beautiful."

"Being the light of the world is about being a broken, exploding, scarred star and shining a light of hope and inspiration to everyone around you."

"Scars are not injuries, Tanner Sack. A scar is a healing. After injury, a scar is what makes you whole."

"What you have to understand is that my thing is not glamour. I love stretch marks and C-section scars and all of that. I'm a grown man. You don't gotta put on no makeup with me."

"Most scars are invisible. Damn transparent knives. Does anything cut deeper than love? I need to get some new body armor."

"The human race tends to remember the abuses to which it has been subjected rather than the endearments. What's left of kisses? Wounds, however, leave scars."

"Scars are just another kind of memory."

"Comedy is a necessity to get through life with the fewest scars. Humor is the best antidote to help relieve all struggles."

"Scars show us where we have been, they do not dictate where we are going."

"The wound is the place where the Light enters you."

"Most things break, including hearts. The lessons of life amount not towisdom, but to scar tissue and callus."

"Faith is about going through hell, coming out with some scars, and becoming a wiser person from the lessons you’ve learned along the way. You must take the scars of your past and appreciate them for what they have taught you. You also have to take the scars, the lessons of your past and not let them control your future…."

"Everyone always wants to know how you can tell when it's true love, and the answer is this: when the pain doesn't fade and the scars don't heal, and it's too damned late."

"The lessons of life amount not to wisdom, but to scar tissue and callus."

"Sometimes loneliness makes the loudest noise."
