"We say of some things that they can't be forgiven, or that we will never forgive ourselves. But we do-we do it all the time."

Previous Quote

For there are two kinds of forgiveness in the world: the one you practice because everything really is all right, and what went before is mended. The other kind of forgiveness you practice because someone needs desperately to be forgiven, or because you need just as badly to forgive them, for a heart can grab hold of old wounds and go sour as milk over them.
