“I think that in many ways, just as forgiveness is impossible without love, sometimes love requires forgiveness for it to work, too.”

“It's forgiveness that makes us what we are. Without forgiveness, our species would've annihilated itself in endless retributions. Without forgiveness, there would be no history. Without that hope, there would be no art, for every work of art is in some way an act of forgiveness. Without that dream, there would be no love, for every act of love is in some way a promise to forgive. We live on because we can love, and we love because we can forgive.”

“There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love.”

“He was a lovely man in many ways. But he kept on insisting on forgiving me when there was nothing to forgive.”

“Forgiveness in no way requires that you trust the one you forgive.”

“Let's forgive someone for Valentines day, it's a great way to show love, and forgive yourself too for the hurt you held onto.”
