Wounds Quotes
-

Honore de Balzac

War will of itself discover and lay open the hidden and rankling wounds of the victorious party.
Tacitus
-
The first man . . . ventured to call food and nourishment the parts that had a little before bellowed and cried, moved and lived. How could his eyes endure the slaughter when throats were slit and hides flayed and limbs torn from limb? How could his nose endure the stench? How was it that the pollution did not turn away his taste, which made contact with the sores of others and sucked juices and serums from mortal wounds?
Plutarch

Anthony Robbins

Being conscious of having done a wicked action leaves stings of remorse behind it, which, like an ulcer in the flesh, makes the mind smart with perpetual wounds; for reason, which chases away all other pains, creates repentance, shames the soul with confusion, and punishes it with torment.
Plutarch

The body is not the only target of rape. Violence does not always take a visible form, and not all wounds gush blood.
