    F. Scott Fitzgerald
    “One writes of scars healed, a loose parallel to the pathology of the skin, but there is no such thing in the life of an individual. There are open wounds, shrunk sometimes to the size of a pin-prick but wounds still. The marks of suffering are more comparable to the loss of a finger, or of the sight of an eye. We may not miss them, either, for one minute in a year, but if we should there is nothing to be done about it.”

    D.H. Lawrence
    “Yes, I do believe in something. I believe in being warm-hearted. I
    believe especially in being warm-hearted in love, in fucking with a
    warm heart. I believe if men could fuck with warm hearts, and the women
    take it warm-heartedly, everything would come all right. It's all this
    cold-hearted fucking that is death and idiocy.”
