Forgiveness really is so misunderstood, as well as the power it can release in an individual.

I think it's important to remember that Christianity was based in love and tolerance and forgiveness and acceptance.

I think we learn the most from imperfect relationships - things like forgiveness and compassion.

On a level of simple personal survival, understanding and forgiveness are crucial... whether in an intimate personal relationship or on a global level.

Forgiveness is indifference. Forgiveness is impossible while love lasts.

I like cast iron coated with enamel for longevity and forgiveness if I happen to take my eyes off the prize while pouring Chianti.

One important theme is the extent to which one can ever correct an error, especially outside any frame of religious forgiveness. All of us have done something we regret - how we manage to remove that from our conscience, or whether that's even possible, interested me.
