Wound Quotes - page 8

The essays in simulation of [Paul] Eluard and [Andre] Breton, Breton's recent poem-objects, the latest images of Rene Magritte, the "method" of the latest sculpture of Picasso and the theoretic and pictorial activity of Salvador Dali prove this need of concrete materialisation in current reality, of giving objective value on the real plane to the delirious unknown world of our irrational experiences. Against the remembrance of dreams and the virtual and impossible images of purely receptive states, "that can only be recounted", there are the physical facts of "objective" irrationality, with which one can already actually wound oneself. (Salvador Dalí)
A timid mind is apt to mistake every scratch for a mortal wound. View quote
Lord Byron
'Twas thine own genius gave the final blow, And help'd to plant the wound that laid thee low: So the struck eagle, stretch'd upon the plain, No more through rolling clouds to soar again, View'd his own feather on the fatal dart, And wing'd the shaft that quiver'd in his heart. View quote
Lord Byron
Love is a fire that burns unseen, A wound that aches yet isn't felt, An always discontent contentment, A pain that rages without hurting,A longing for nothing but to long, A loneliness in the midst of people, A never feeling pleased when pleased, A passion that gains when lost in thought.It's being enslaved of your own free will; It's counting your defeat a victory; It's staying loyal to your killer.But if it's so self-contradictory, How can Love, when Love chooses, Bring human hearts into sympathy?

Luís de Camões
To wound the heart is to create it. View quote
Antonio Porchia
You wound and you will wound again. Because you wound and then you go away. You do not stay with the wound. View quote
Antonio Porchia
The waterbed trend was similar to the fulfillment movement, in the sense that you paid for something that was supposed to bring you happiness, but you wound up with something less fulfilling, in this case motion sickness and water damage. View quote
Dave Barry
A new wound makes all the old ones ache again. View quote
Mignon McLaughlin
When griping grief the heart doth wound, And doleful dumps the mind oppress, Then music with her silver sound. View quote
William Shakespeare
In the sociology of the left, including the NAACP, there cannot be a wound the black community inflicts on itself that is not ultimately the responsibility of malicious whites. View quote
David Horowitz
For every wound, the ointment of time. (Sharon Kay Penman)
... A scar signifies past pain, a wound that did not heal as it ought. But it testifies, too, to survival...(Here be Dragons) View quote
Sharon Kay Penman
He comes, and his face is sad and mild, With thorns his head is crowned; There are great bleeding wounds in his feet, And in each hand a wound. How can I tell, who am a fool, If this be Christ or no? Those bleeding hands outstretched to me! Those eyes that love me so! View quote
Joyce Kilmer
Treachery and violence are spears pointed at both ends; they wound those who resort to them worse than their enemies. View quote
Emily Brontë
I'd be glad of a retaliation that wouldn't recoil on myself; but treachery and violence are spears pointed at both ends; they wound those who resort to them worse than their enemies. View quote
Emily Brontë
William now directed his archers to shoot high into the air, so that the arrows would fall behind the shield-wall, and one of these pierced Harold in the right-eye, inflicting a mortal wound. He fell at the foot of the royal standard, unconquerable except by death, which does not count in honour. The hard-fought battle was now decided. View quote
Winston Churchill
I went in thinking: "I'm not going to find out that Darwinism is a fraud. I'll probably find out these (intelligent design proponents) are frauds." But I wound up knowing a lot more than when I started. I learned that Darwinism is being overhyped, and that it doesn't really convey what's going on. Sometimes if you follow a "truth" far enough, it becomes a lie. View quote
Ben Stein
Compassion is a wound in the heart whence flows a common love to all mankind and which cannot be healed so long as any suffering lives in man. View quote
John Ruysbroeck
Today I know this: when it comes time to take stock, the most painful wound is that of broken friendships; and there is nothing more foolish than to sacrifice a friendship to politics. View quote
Milan Kundera
Our vanity is hardest to wound precisely when our pride has just been wounded. View quote
Friedrich Nietzsche
There is a great directing head of people and things - a Supreme Being who looks after the destinies of the world. I am convinced that the body is made up of entities that are intelligent and are directed by this Higher Power. When one cuts his finger, I believe it is the intelligence of these entities which heals the wound. When one is sick, it is the intelligence of these entities which brings convalescence. You know that there are living cells in the body so tiny that the microscope cannot find them at all. The entities that give life and soul to the human body are finer still and lie infinitely beyond the reach of our finest scientific instruments. When these entities leave the body, the body is like a ship without a rudder - deserted, motionless and dead. (Thomas Edison)
In my deepest wound I saw your glory, and it dazzled me. View quote
Augustine of Hippo
You can fall in love and make love many times but there is only one bullet with your name etched on the side. And if you are lucky enough to be shot with that bullet then the wound never heals. View quote
Michael Connelly
What he would say, he cannot say to this woman whose openness is like a wound, whose youth is not mortal yet. He cannot alter what he loves most in her, her lack of compromise, where the romance of the poems she loves still sits with ease in the real world. Outside these qualities he knows there is no order in the world. View quote
Michael Ondaatje
A writer's main tool is his memory - his own memory, the collective memory of his people. And the strongest memory is the one that is created by a wound to the heart. View quote
