“We all try to forget what hurts us, it is sometimes the only way we can continue.”

“We all yearn for what we have lost. But sometimes, we forget what we have.”

“We hurt each other, is the point. Hurt, annoy, embarrass, but move on. People, it just doesn't work that way. Your own feelings get so complicated that you forget the ways another human being can be vulnerable. You spend a lot of energy protecting yourself. All those layers and motivations and feelings. You get hurt, you stay hurt sometimes. The hurt affects your ability to go forward. And words. All the words between us. Words can be permanent. Certain ones are impossible to forgive.”

“As far as I'm concerned it's the other way round. We repeat what we remember. Only forgetfulness sets us free.”

“Sometimes it is only a True Friend who knows what we mean when we try to speak. Somebody who has spent a lot of time with us, and listens carefully to what we are trying to say, and tries to understand.”

“History can only hurt us if we let it.”
