Rereading we find a new book.

My thought has been shaped by books, my desires by pictures.

I read less and less. I have not forgiven books for their failure to tell me the truth and make me happy.

Other people's beliefs may be myths, but not mine.

True forgiveness is when you can say, “Thank you for that experience.”

Everyone says forgiveness is a lovely idea, until they have something to forgive.

Forgiveness does not mean excusing.

I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine.
