Battle Scars

Famous quotes containing the words battle and/or scars:

“Up from the South at break of day,
Bringing to Winchester fresh dismay,
The affrighted air with a shudder bore,
Like a herald in haste, to the chieftain’s door,
The terrible grumble, and rumble, and roar,
Telling the battle was on once more,
And Sheridan twenty miles away.”
—Thomas Buchanan Read (1822–1872)

“Children show scars like medals. Lovers use them as secrets to reveal. A scar is what happens when the word is made flesh.”
—Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)
