“Scar tissue has no character. It’s not like skin. It doesn’t show age or illness or pallor or tan. It has no pores, no hair, no wrinkles. It’s like a slipcover. It shields and disguises what’s beneath. That’s why we grow it; we have something to hide.”
― Susanna Kaysen, Girl, Interrupted

― Susanna Kaysen, Girl, Interrupted
