“I think there was a lot of wounding that happened as a child because I didn't really feel like I could go to my father, because I had to hide things and protect myself from my father, because he was the punisher.

And depending on how much punishment they get, the more trauma there is.”
John Gray

“First and foremost, it was a lesson in propaganda. We were wound up, thinking we might be under surveillance, there would be hidden cameras in our hotel rooms, our phone lines would be bugged, they'd go through all our stuff.

Chris Cornell
“The seaman tells stories of winds, the ploughman of bulls; the soldier details his wounds, the shepherd his sheep.”
