Sometimes life turns out hard, Isabel. Sometimes it just bites right through you. And sometimes, just when you think it's done its worst, it comes back and takes another chunk.

We live with the decisions we makeThat’s what bravery is. Standing by the consequences of your mistakes.

You only have to forgive once. To resent, you have to do it all day, every day.

It is a luxury to do something that serves no practical purpose: the luxury of civilization.

Right and wrong can be like bloody snakes: so tangled up that you can't tell which is which until you've shot 'em both, and then it's too late.

Oh, but my treasure, it is so much less exhausting. You only have to forgive once. To resent, you have to do it all day, every day. You have to keep remembering all the bad things.

Sometimes it's good to leave the past in the past.
