“I love you,’ he whispered, and kissed my brow. ‘Thorns and all.”

“To me, when someone wrongs you, you both share the burden of that wrongdoing - the pain of it weighs on both of you. Forgiveness, then, means choosing to bear the full weight all by yourself.

I am not sure that I'm capable of shouldering it all myself - not sure that I am strong enough, or good enough.”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant
