Quote by Rose Kennedy

It has been said that time heals all wounds. I don't agree. The wounds remain. Time - the mind, protecting its sanity - covers them with some scar tissue and the pain lessens, but it is never gone.

It has been said that time heals all wounds. I don't agree.

Summary

This quote challenges the common belief that time can completely heal emotional wounds. The speaker disagrees, asserting that although time may bring a degree of healing, the wounds themselves never truly disappear. Instead, they are masked by a protective layer of scar tissue, and their intensity of pain may diminish over time. However, the quote suggests that the wounds always leave a lasting mark, denying the possibility of full restoration.

I'm fascinated by the journey that an intelligent and an ambitious woman makes in the professional world in contrast to the journey that a man of similar ambition, of similar intelligence makes. What sort of concessions does a woman have to make? Does she have to work 20 percent harder than a man?
