“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.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tender Is the Night

“People generally see what they look for, and hear what they listen for.”
― Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

“The heart of another is a dark forest, always, no matter how close it has been to one’s own.”
― Willa Cather

“Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.”
― George Orwell, 1984
