Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars



"Det var bare uflaks!" avbryter han da hun begynner å forbanne ham hysterisk. Hun rister på hodet, halvveis beskymret og fullstending oppgitt. "Det vakre ansiktet ditt er fullt av arr", sier hun motløst. "Hva så? Det betyr bare at jeg har levd", svarer han og de fortsetter å spise i stillhet.

Det er et flott sitat fra boka the other hand av Chris Cleave:

"On the girl's brown legs there were many small white scars. I was thinking, Do those scars cover the whole of you, like the stars and the moons on your dress? I thought that would be pretty too, and I ask you right here please to agree with me that a scar is never ugly. That is what the scar makers want us to think. But you and I, we must make an agreement to defy them. We must see all scars as beauty. Okay? This will be our secret. Because take it from me, a scar does not form on the dying. A scar means, I survived."
