About This Quote

A wounded dear leaps the highest means that the more someone is hurt, the higher they jump. The saying goes that when you’re wounded, you can take more pain than someone else. It means that you’re able to take more pain than other people can. For example, if you’re in pain and someone comes along and pokes you in the wound, you’ll feel it more than they do. And if you’re wounded enough, your pain will be greater than anyone else’s.
