Have you noticed there are some people--Americans especially--who seem untouched by the war, or at least, unmangled by it? I don't mean to imply that Mark was a shirker--he was in their Air Corps--but he's simply not sunk under it. And when I'm with him, I feel untouched by the war, too. It's an illusion, I know it is, and truthfully, I'd be ashamed of myself if the war hadn't touched me. But it's forgivable to enjoy myself a little--isn't it? ↗

One can't relive one's life. Forgiveness is not what's difficult; one's always too ready to forgive. And it does no good, that's obvious. ↗

Anger is an essential part of being human. People are taught to deny themselves anger, and in this, they are actually opening themselves up to hate. The more you deny yourself the freedom to be angry, the more you will hate. Let yourself be angry, and hate will disintegrate, and when hate disintegrates, forgiveness prevails! The more you deny that you are angry, in attempts to be "holy" the more inhuman you will become, and the more inhuman you will become, the harder it will be to forgive. ↗

If there were two enemies hating each other for a long time, to me, the winner would be the one who finally has the courage to forgive. ↗

Forgiveness is the one gift you don't give to others. Rather, it is the gift you give yourself so you can finally be free. ↗

I feel like I'm the most forgiven actress I can think of, probably because of this short memory people have! ↗
