It was as if personality itself had a 'face'. This non-physical face of personality seemed to be the real key to personality change. It remained scarred, distorted, 'ugly' or inferior the person himself acted out this role in his behaviour regardless of the changes in physical appearance. If this 'face of personality' could be reconstructed, if old emotional scars could be removed, then the person himself changed, even without facial plastic surgery. ~ Maxwell Maltz
Emotional Scars quotes by Maxwell Maltz
I still have the scars from when they captured me and beat me in the middle of the street."
"You don't get scars."
"Emotional scars then. ~ Amy Tintera
Emotional Scars quotes by Amy Tintera
I don't want people to fall in love with my smile, my face or my body. I am waiting for somebody to love the mess I can be and fall in love with my emotional scars. ~ Karon Waddell
Emotional Scars quotes by Karon Waddell
Emotional scars run deeper than the Nile
and often lie lurking behind a smile. ~ Khang Kijarro Nguyen
Emotional Scars quotes by Khang Kijarro Nguyen
Emotionally wounded addicts have an extremely difficult time with intimacy and with trusting themselves and others. They have a deep desire to trust, but their emotional scars and traumatic memories haunt them whenever an opportunity to trust another person arises. Naturally this can lead to a very lonely existence. ~ Christopher Dines
Emotional Scars quotes by Christopher Dines
Forgiveness is a scalpel that removes emotional scars. ~ Maxwell Maltz
Emotional Scars quotes by Maxwell Maltz
Betrayal is a more subtle, twisted feeling than terror. It burns and eats, but terror stabs right through. ~ Wendy Hoffman
Emotional Scars quotes by Wendy Hoffman
Most dreams die a slow death. They're conceived in a moment of passion, with the prospect of endless possibility, but often languish and are not pursued with the same heartfelt intensity as when first born. Slowly, subtly, a dream becomes elusive and ephemeral. People who've lost their own dreams become pessimists and cynics. They feel like the time and devotion spent on chasing their dreams were wasted. The emotional scars last forever. ~ Dean Karnazes
Emotional Scars quotes by Dean Karnazes
Discovery Cancels Emotional Scars ~ Sunday Adelaja
Emotional Scars quotes by Sunday Adelaja
The emotional scars of our mistakes will teach us far more than the joy of our successes ~ Steven Aitchison
Emotional Scars quotes by Steven Aitchison
As bad as it was - and you paid a heavy price for being a paratrooper, believe me, always put on the front lines under bad conditions - and even with the emotional scars you live with, I'm glad I did it. All goodness came out of it. I would never have had the opportunity to meet guys like Winters, Guarnere, Toye, Ed Joint and Joe Lesiewksi, Malarkey, J.D. Henderson, Shifty Powers, Chuck Grant, One Lung McClung, Compton, Mike McMann, and most important, Muck, Penkala, Campbell, and Julian, who never came back. Guarnere I don't have to mention, he's nuts, he always let's me know he's around! It makes you feel good that you were with these guys all over Europe in some tough spots, guys you shared a hole with, and guys who saved your life ... ~ Edward Heffron
Emotional Scars quotes by Edward Heffron
Many people feel like they were born into the wrong family. Nevertheless, adults must take responsiblity for the pain of the past and create a productive life in the present. ~ James P. Krehbiel
Emotional Scars quotes by James P. Krehbiel
In the Middle Ages, marriage was considered a sacrament ordained by God, and God also authorised the father to marry his children according to his wishes and interests. An extramarital affair was accordingly a brazen rebellion against both divine and parental authority. It was a mortal sin, no matter what the lovers felt and thought about it. Today people marry for love, and it is their inner feelings that give value to this bond. Hence, if the very same feelings that once drove you into the arms of one man now drive you into the arms of another, what's wrong with that? If an extramarital affair provides an outlet for emotional and sexual desires that are not satisfied by your spouse of twenty years, and if your new lover is kind, passionate and sensitive to your needs – why not enjoy it?
But wait a minute, you might say. We cannot ignore the feelings of the other concerned parties. The woman and her lover might feel wonderful in each other's arms, but if their respective spouses find out, everybody will probably feel awful for quite some time. And if it leads to divorce, their children might carry the emotional scars for decades. Even if the affair is never discovered, hiding it involves a lot of tension, and may lead to growing feelings of alienation and resentment.
The most interesting discussions in humanist ethics concern situations like extramarital affairs, when human feelings collide. What happens when the same action causes one person to feel good, and anot ~ Yuval Noah Harari
Emotional Scars quotes by Yuval Noah Harari
I don't think there's any deep psychological reason. It isn't comparable, say, to America's involvement with Vietnam and the emotional scars that that has left behind. A much more cogent way of looking at it is that the British have suddenly realized that they have their own equivalent of the perennial western. We have an immense, extremely colorful, diverse history of the empire, and I think people are just beginning to realize that there are jolly good stories there for the telling. ~ Valerie Fitzgerald
Emotional Scars quotes by Valerie Fitzgerald
Chopin's rubato possessed an unshakeable emotional logic. It always justified itself by a strengthening or weakening melodic line, by exaggeration or affectation. ~ Karol Mikuli
Emotional Scars quotes by Karol Mikuli
This is a book which I would recommend to anyone who is walking through the pain of abuse. A book of courage in the face of overwhelming odds; a book which will touch your heart and give you hope. ~ Ruth Hawkey
Emotional Scars quotes by Ruth Hawkey
It's hard work making movies. It's like being a doctor: you work long hours, very hard hours, and it's emotional, tense work. If you don't really love it, then it ain't worth it. ~ George Lucas
Emotional Scars quotes by George Lucas
We do not need more division. We certainly do not need something as complex and emotional as Vietnam reduced to simple campaign rhetoric. ~ John F. Kerry
Emotional Scars quotes by John F. Kerry
It is one thing to read the Scriptures and affirm their truth. But until you are in the trenches of trial, until you are faced with life circumstances that test your faith, until you are pressed to the absolute limit of your physical and emotional capacity, until you face the unrelenting stress of ongoing trauma, you never really know how you'll respond to what you may have embraced so easily during a comfortable Bible study. ~ Kevin Malarkey
Emotional Scars quotes by Kevin Malarkey
I think when it comes to decisions, I try not to be emotional. To drown out the noise and look at the important facts. ~ David Tepper
Emotional Scars quotes by David Tepper
The more spiritual successes that Edwards experienced, the more he seemed to intentionally infuse his sermons with language deemed to move a person's emotional center - their souls - to spiritually and physically respond. ~ Matthew Paul Turner
Emotional Scars quotes by Matthew Paul Turner
Men who allow their love of power to give them a distorted view of the world are to be found in every asylum: one man will think he is the Governor of the Bank of England, another will think he is the King, and yet another will think he is God. Highly similar delusions, if expressed by educated men in obscure language, lead to professorships of philosophy; and if expressed by emotional men in eloquent language, lead to dictatorships. ~ Bertrand Russell
Emotional Scars quotes by Bertrand Russell
Scars speak more loudly than the sword that caused them. ~ Paulo Coelho
Emotional Scars quotes by Paulo Coelho
Play, Incorporating Animistic and Magical Thinking Is Important Because It:
Fosters the healthy, creative and emotional growth of a child;
Forms the best foundation for later intellectual growth.
Provides a way in which children get to know the world and creates possibilities for different ways of responding to it.
Fosters empathy and wonder. ~ Rachel Carson
Emotional Scars quotes by Rachel Carson
Often, to keep the family together, the woman will accept repeated beatings and rapes, emotional battering and verbal degredation; she will be debased and ashamed but she will stick it out, or when she runs he will kill her. Ask the politicians who exude delight when they advocate for the so-called traditional family how many women are beaten and children raped when there is no man in the family. Zero is such a perfect and encouraging number, but who, among politicians in male-supremacist cultures, can count that high? ~ Andrea Dworkin
Emotional Scars quotes by Andrea Dworkin
Any good relationship that I've had with an actor has always been so emotional and personal. If you don't have that then you're just lying. ~ Kristen Stewart
Emotional Scars quotes by Kristen Stewart
A narcissist, on the other hand, is the exact opposite of an empath. Emotionally, narcissists are like brick walls who see and hear others but fail to understand or relate to them. As a result of their emotional shallowness, narcissists are essentially devoid of all empathy or compassion for other people. Lacking empathy, a narcissist is a very destructive and dangerous person to be around. ~ Mateo Sol
Emotional Scars quotes by Mateo Sol
Aren't you ready to experience the emotional side of a D/s relationship? For a real taste I suggest On Becoming His - one woman's emotional journey into being owned. ~ Cassandre Dayne
Emotional Scars quotes by Cassandre Dayne
In my experience, cutting back is the crucial act that allows the vitality, precision and emotional heart of a piece of writing to emerge. ~ Pamela Erens
Emotional Scars quotes by Pamela Erens
An art that heals and protects its subject is a geography of scars. ~ Wendell Berry
Emotional Scars quotes by Wendell Berry
A point often ignored in cinema history studies of [Bette] Davis," wrote Jim Parish and Don Stanke years later of Housewife, "is that Ann Dvorak, who plays the film's title role, was established as a strong dramatic actress long before Bette, and it was she who set the standard for battling with the studio for better roles. In her quiet performance as Nan Wilson Reynolds, it is Miss Dvorak and not the already mannered Bette, who woos the audience's attention and affection. It is Dvorak who provides the proper artistic control for the feature…" The big difference between the two actresses was maturity. Bette, in these early movies, was very rough around the gills; she became polished, but always tended to slip into campy tirades. Dvorak was a natural; she was intense, but always in control, even in highly emotional situations. ~ Ray Hagen
Emotional Scars quotes by Ray Hagen
It's funny. Friendships are Catch twenty-twos when you're single and in your thirties. Friends are your life rafts. You try to help each other meet people, you confide in each other, you spend Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day, all those emotional land-mine holidays together. But sooner or later one of you is going to meet someone and be gone into the world of couples. ~ Will McIntosh
Emotional Scars quotes by Will McIntosh
But, Catherine, everything's that true despite us - the things they're talking about, natural laws - will always remain true despite us. What matters is what's true because of us. That's what's up for grabs. That's where the battle is. One remembers and values one's life not for its objective truths, but for the emotional truths ... The only thing that's really true, that lasts, and makes life worthwhile is the truth that's fixed in the heart. That's what we live and die for. It comes in epiphanies, and it comes in love, and don't ever let frightened people turn you away from it. ~ Mark Helprin
Emotional Scars quotes by Mark Helprin
But where was God now, with heaven full of astronauts, and the Lord overthrown? I miss God. I miss the company of someone utterly loyal. I still don't think of God as my betrayer. The servants of God, yes, but servants by their very nature betray. I miss God who was my friend. I don't even know if God exists, but I do know that if God is your emotional role model, very few human relationships will match up to it. I have an idea that one day it might be possible, I thought once it had become possible, and that glimpse has set me wandering, trying to find the balance between earth and sky. If the servants hadn't rushed in and parted us, I might have been disappointed, might have snatched off the white samite to find a bowl of soup.

As it is, I can't settle, I want someone who is fierce and will love me until death and know that love is as strong as death, and be on my side for ever and ever. I want someone who will destroy and be destroyed by me. There are many forms of love and affection, some people can spend their whole lives together without knowing each other's names. Naming is a difficult and time-consuming process; it concerns essences, and it means power. But on the wild nights who can call you home? Only the one who knows your name. Romantic love has been diluted into paperback form and has sold thousands and millions of copies. Somewhere it is still in the original, written on tablets of stone. I would cross seas and suffer sunstroke and give away all I ha ~ Jeanette Winterson
Emotional Scars quotes by Jeanette Winterson
You show me a truly funny girl who doesn't have emotional issues, and I'll introduce you to my stable of unicorn thoroughbreds ridden by leprechaun jockeys. ~ Tucker Max
Emotional Scars quotes by Tucker Max
I never even thought about whether or not they understand what I'm doing ... the emotional reaction is all that matters as long as there's some feeling of communication, it isn't necessary that it be understood. ~ John Coltrane
Emotional Scars quotes by John Coltrane
I'm the father of two boys and two girls, so I'm more an emotional wreck than a mushball. ~ Mark Wahlberg
Emotional Scars quotes by Mark Wahlberg
The human race tends to remember the abuses to which it has been subjected rather than the endearments. What's left of kisses? Wounds, however, leave scars. ~ Bertolt Brecht
Emotional Scars quotes by Bertolt Brecht
The fluidity of thought is based on the flexibility of beliefs and the emotional boundaries surrounding them. ~ Michael Arndt
Emotional Scars quotes by Michael Arndt
Religion was their meat and their excitement, their mental food and their emotional pleasure. ~ Pearl S. Buck
Emotional Scars quotes by Pearl S. Buck
The two dragon riders sat further off, talking. Tallin was short, with curling red hair and deep scars on his neck and face. His dragon was sapphire blue and also had numerous scars. Elias wondered again what had happened to cause so many injuries. Hanko was taller, with black hair, and his dragon was carnelian red. The red dragon was substantially smaller than the blue one. Tallin ~ Kristian Alva
Emotional Scars quotes by Kristian Alva
Emotionally intelligent people think before they speak and exercise discretion. ~ Susan C. Young
Emotional Scars quotes by Susan C. Young
We seek to sow life in the child rather than theories, to help him in his growth, mental and emotional as well as physical, and for that we must offer grand and lofty ideas to the human mind, ~ Maria Montessori
Emotional Scars quotes by Maria Montessori
And the scars on my soul bleed at the mention of your name. And the flashbacks of our memories are ripping my heart out. You enjoy that, don't you? ~ Mohamed Ghazi
Emotional Scars quotes by Mohamed Ghazi
In order to bring a nation to support the burdens of maintaining great military establishments, it is necessary to create an emotional state akin to war psychology. There must be the portrayal of an external menace. This involves the development to a high degree of the nation-hero, nation-villain ideology and the arousing of the population to a sense of sacrifice. Once these exist, we have gone a long way on the path to war. ~ John Foster Dulles
Emotional Scars quotes by John Foster Dulles
Blame is the lie by which we convince ourselves that we are victims. It is the lie that robs us of our serenity, our generosity, our confidence, an our delight in life ... For it is the act of blaming that can't co-exist with self-responsibility
or with freedom from inner agitation and strained relationships. Abandon the practice of blaming, and we see the fear melt away that we have associated with being honest about ourselves and taking the full measure of responsibility for our emotional and spiritual condition. ~ C. Terry Warner
Emotional Scars quotes by C. Terry Warner
To see someone you love in so much pain - especially emotional pain that can't be remedied - was the worst form of torture. ~ Laura Kreitzer
Emotional Scars quotes by Laura Kreitzer
My dear boy, the people who love only once in their lives are really the shallow people. What they call their loyalty, and their fidelity, I call either the lethargy of custom or their lack of imagination.. Faithfulness is to the emotional life what consistency is to the life of the intellect
simply a confession of failures. Faithfulness! I must analyse it some day. The passion for property is in it. There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up. But I don't want to interrupt you. Go on with your story. ~ Oscar Wilde
Emotional Scars quotes by Oscar Wilde
Trying to change our habits demands effort and effort takes energy - which is a cost. And our brains constantly look for ways to save effort. Furthermore, a change creates an uncomfortable feeling so naturally we try to avoid this feeling by not changing, That's why we take the easy way, favor shortcuts, and default options and stick to our habits. And the more emotional a decision is or the more choices we have, the more we prefer the status quo ~ Peter Bevelin
Emotional Scars quotes by Peter Bevelin
Simply put, you can read a story in a single sitting and hold it all in your mind. You can experience all of its rhythms, beginning to end, during that span. Consequently it has, I think, greater emotional power than a novel because of this real-time effect. Stories can stun you. ~ Adam Ross
Emotional Scars quotes by Adam Ross
I met an angel in Morocco and all I got were these lousy scars. ~ Laini Taylor
Emotional Scars quotes by Laini Taylor
We live in a historical period characterized by a sharp discrepancy between the intellectual development of man ... and his mental-emotional development, which has left him still in a state of marked narcissism with all its pathological symptoms. ~ Christopher Lasch
Emotional Scars quotes by Christopher Lasch
Jack glanced at ken. "Lily is a brilliant woman when it comes to academics, but she;'s so blind when it comes to people." It was a small warning to keep Ken's anger from boiling over. "She's struggling to accept that Whitney needs to die, but she needs more time. The pregnancy also probably makes her more emotional when it comes to her father."
"When the hell did you get so smart?" Ken demanded.
"I've been reading all the pregnancy books." jack sounded a little smug. ~ Christine Feehan
Emotional Scars quotes by Christine Feehan
If you can't get emotional about what you believe in your heart, you're in the wrong business. ~ Vince Lombardi
Emotional Scars quotes by Vince Lombardi
I'm simply saying that our deepest thoughts, desires and preoccupations manifest themselves in art, whether we intend them to or not. That's what art is for; it's not cerebral, it's emotional. ~ Simon Pegg
Emotional Scars quotes by Simon Pegg
A continuous perception is taking place deep within the mind. It is hard to hear that signal because it is blurred over by your own thoughts, desires, and fears. It is blurred over by your emotional swings. You become dull. ~ Frederick Lenz
Emotional Scars quotes by Frederick Lenz
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And my scars remind me that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel ~ Papa Roach
Emotional Scars quotes by Papa Roach
It's all right that there are things that you do not get over, not really. You just go on, knowing that the things you love could be stripped from you at any moment, remembering to love them now.
It makes you human. You try to be decent and treat people gently, knowing that they, too, have their scars and madness that, like yours, do not show. ~ Joy Castro
Emotional Scars quotes by Joy Castro
