“A broken friendship that is mended through forgiveness can be even stronger than it once was.”
― Stephen Richards, Forgiveness and Love Conquers All: Healing the Emotional Self

“Your number one task here is forgiving yourself and the people who mistreat you. You must learn to do this if you want to experience real happiness and peace in this life. You must do this if you want to feel accepted, valued and safe. The only way to feel innocent and worthy – is to give it to other people. That is just how it works.”
― Kimberly Giles, Choosing Clarity: The Path to Fearlessness

“It often occurs that pride and selfishness are muddled with strength and independence. They are neither equal nor similar; in fact, they are polar opposites. A coward may be so cowardly that he masks his weakness with some false personification of power. He is afraid to love and to be loved because love tends to strip bare all emotional barricades. Without love, strength and independence are prone to losing every bit of their worth; they become nothing more than a fearful, intimidated, empty tent lost somewhere in the desert of self.”
― Criss Jami, Killosophy

“How accommodating love is; it forgives everything.”
― Isabel Allende, Inés of My Soul
