“Man is a ‘jar of mistakes’, dear Giulia; as we have made a mistake, we are human; this proves it!”
“I'm afraid that we all make mistakes. One of the things that defines our character is how we handle mistakes. If we lie about having made a mistake, then it can't be corrected and it festers. On the other hand, if we give up just because we made a mistake, even a big mistake, none of us would get far in life.”
“We are in hell, my dear, there is never a mistake and people are not damned for nothing.”
“I, too, have made many mistakes, but one valuable lesson that I have learned is that we cannot allow our mistakes to become our identity.”
“It's a mistake to think that we have to be lovely to be loved by human beings or by God”
“We are going to have to stop penalising people for making that most human of gestures- mistake”
