“When women love, they forgive everything, even our crimes; when they do not love, they cannot forgive anything, not even our virtues.”

“We cannot love unless we have accepted forgiveness, and the deeper our experience of forgiveness is, the greater is our love.”

“Love knows no virtue, no merit; it loves and forgives and tolerates everything because it must. We are not guided by reason…”

“It is not on our forgiveness any more than on our goodness that the world's healing hinges, but His. When He tells us to love our enemies, He gives, along with the command, the love itself.”

“Forgiveness is that subtle thread that binds both love and friendship. Without forgiveness, you may not even have a child one day.”

“He was a lovely man in many ways. But he kept on insisting on forgiving me when there was nothing to forgive.”

“When you forgive, you love. And when you love, God’s light shines upon you.”

“I still love you. I will always love you, and that is all that matters. I will forgive you anything, and I will forgive you this.”

“I know about forgiving people and loving them anyway, even after they hurt you.”

“I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore.”
