Bandage Quotes

On covering wounds, and actually healing them.

These quotes use the bandage as a serious metaphor, for finally addressing a stalled housing foreclosure crisis, for the blindfold justice wears while trying to separate cruelty from misfortune, and for the basic difference between a properly treated wound and one left to fester. Even the lighter image, an improvised fix for a fallen leaf, points at the same idea, that bandaging something is a small act with real consequences.

The economy is ready to emerge from its recent dark period, but to make it happen soon we need to speed the resolution of millions of troubled home loans. Six years have passed since the crisis began, yet instead of accelerating, foreclosures have slowed.
