The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.
You don't learn from successes; you don't learn from awards; you don't learn from celebrity; you only learn from wounds and scars and mistakes and failures. And that's the truth.
I think scars are like battle wounds - beautiful, in a way. They show what you've been through and how strong you are for coming out of it.
A really strong woman accepts the war she went through and is ennobled by her scars.
A lot of us grow up and we grow out of the literal interpretation that we get when we're children, but we bear the scars all our life. Whether they're scars of beauty or scars of ugliness, it's pretty much in the eye of the beholder.
