“A broken bone can heal, but the wound a word opens can fester forever”
Jessamyn West
“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.”
Rose F. Kennedy
“If we do not have reconciliation, we will not be able to heal the wounds, they will remain open. We live in a society where individuals are part of a group, and we fear that there will be actions of revenge and vendetta.”
Daho Djerbal
“The wounds are in the process of healing, ... They have not healed, but there are isolated moments where you can note progress here on this hill.”
Cecil Murray
“A knife-wound heals, but a tongue wound festers.”
