“You can't resent another person for not giving you what you didn't ask for.”

“You don't ask nobody to give what they can't give, or be what they can't be. You've learnt that, you got a headstart on heartbreak.”

“But an apology too — you think you’re giving something, but you’re not. You’rereally asking for something. You’re asking for forgiveness, you’re asking for the other injured person to make it okay for you. Apologies were harder work for the person getting one than the person giving one.”

“I think resentment is when you take the poison and wait for the other person to die”

“Sometimes it's more generous to take than give,he said."How?" Caroline asked."To let the other person give you what he has to offer. If you're always the one giving, you never have to feel disappointed, because you don't expect anything in return. But it's miserly in its own way. Because you never leave yourself open or give the other person a chance.”
