3. F. Scott Fitzgerald:

   One writes of scars healed, a loose parallel to the pathology of the skin, but there is no such thing in the life of an individual.

We may not miss them, either, for one minute in a year, but if we should there is nothing to be done about it.

4. William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, Act 1, Scene 2:
