I'll try to turn the other cheek.... But I've only got two and they're both stinging.

About This Quote

The quote "I'll try to turn the other cheek....But I've only got two and they're both stinging," shows how a person can say one thing but do another. The idea that a person can say something but then not follow through with their words is often a touchy subject. Some people will say they will turn the other cheek when someone says something nasty to them, but then do not follow through with their words. We often think of turning the other cheek as being kind, so it is odd that someone would be so selfish as to say something nice and not follow through.

However, the quote illustrates a person's true intentions by showing they have two cheeks. They can turn one cheek and then the other, just as they said they would do. This way, regardless of what was said or done to them, they can still show they care about another person regardless of what they have been through themselves.
