“I think the hardest thing in life is to forgive. Hate is self destructive. If you hate somebody, you're not hurting the person you hate, you're hurting yourself. It's a healing, actually, it's a real healing… forgiveness.”

“Forgiveness is healing. Especially forgiving yourself”

“And for all these people alike, the key to healing turned out to be the same. Each had a hurt he had to forgive.”

“I think anybody who gets to that stage in reality is so beyond self-loathing. If you hate yourself, well, then you're going to turn some of that hatred on the world around you.”

“The choice you make, between hating and forgiving, can become the story of your life.”

“Hate hurts the hater more'n the hated.”

“You can't think decently if you're not willing to hurt yourself”

“Loving, we've been loving, but sometimes hate is better
You can't keep out the killers with love, man
Hating, we've been hating, but only love can heal up the hate ~ Nightfriends”

“I'm scared of him," said Piggy, "and that's why I know him. If you're scared of someone you hate him but you can't stop thinking about him. You kid yourself he's alright really, an' then when you see him again; it's like asthma an' you can't breath. I tell you what. He hates you too, Ralph —"
"Me? Why me?"
"I dunno. You got him over the fire; an' you're chief an' he isn't."
"But he's Jack Merridew!"
"I been in bed so much I done some thinking. I know about people. I know about me. And him. He can't hurt you: but if you're standing out of the way he'd hurt the next thing. And that's me."
"Piggy's right, Ralph. There's you and Jack. Go on being chief.”

“But life isn’t about learning to forgive those who have hurt you or forgetting your past. It’s about learning to forgive yourself for being human and making mistakes.”
