Svend Brinkmann Quote

In the novel All the Pretty Horses, Cormac McCarthy writes that the body's scars have the capacity to remind us that our past is real. It is an ancient practice among friends and lovers to study and compare scars, because they provide clear physical evidence of past events, and establish a link between then and now.
