“I consider myself to be a good person. That sounds arrogant, of course, if not self-important or superior. But I don’t mean it like that. I’m a person with an abundance of failings, a person who has made innumerable mistakes and errors. I am acutely aware of this, and the first to admit it. What I mean is that I always act with good intentions, out of love and care. I have always wanted to do the right thing.”
― M.T. Edvardsson, A Nearly Normal Family

“Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrongs.”
― Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre

“Being a parent means never being able to relax.”
― M.T. Edvardsson, A Nearly Normal Family

“We're not punished for our sins, lad. We're punished by them.”
― Jennifer Donnelly, The Tea Rose
