"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

About this Quote

This quote by Leonard Cohen speaks with the power of scars, both physical and emotional. Scars are a pointer of the discomfort we have actually endured, but they can likewise be a source of strength and resilience. Kids frequently wear their scars like medals, happy with the fights they have fought and won. Lovers utilize scars as a method to share their tricks, to expose the depths of their sensations and experiences. A scar is a physical symptom of the discomfort we have gone through, a suggestion of the hurt that has been caused upon us. It is a reminder that we are not invincible, however that we can still discover strength in our vulnerability. Scars are a pointer that we are all human, and that all of us have the capacity to recover.
