Ntozake ShangeAs far as a Latin explosion, I'm sorry, I'm the only Latino who's going to say it, but there is no Latin explosion. I'm sorry. Four or five top box office people do not make it an explosion, and it's disgusting to me that people will perceive it that way.

Etta JamesDon't go into Ramadan having hurt anyone without seeking their forgiveness. The last thing you'd want on the day of judgment is to find that your entire Ramadan with all of its quran recitation, fasting, taraweeh prayers, laylatul qadr, etc. went completely to waste because your pride stopped you from saying โI'm sorryโ. With that being said, I'm sorry if I've written, said, or done anything to offend you. Please find it in your heart to forgive and make dua that Allah grants me guidance and sincerity.

Amber HollibaughI wish this story were different. I wish it were more civilized. I wish it showed me in a better light, if not happier, than at least more active, less hesitant, less distracted by trivia. I wish it had more shape. I wish t were about love, or about sudden realizations important to oneโs life, or even about sunsets, birds, rainstorms, or snow. Iโm sorry there is so much pain in this story. Iโm sorry itโs in fragments, like a body caught in crossfire or pulled apart by force. But there is nothing I can do to change it.
Margaret AtwoodAnd I know Iโve lost. Everything is lost. Everything is over. โAs the newly appointed President of this fair planet of ours,โ the Mayor says, holding out his hands as if to show me the world for the first time,โ let me be the very first to welcome you to its new capital city.โ โTodd?โ Viola whispers, her eyes closed. I hold her tightly to me. โIโm sorry,โ I whisper to her. โIโm so sorry.โ Weโve run right into a trap. Weโve run right off the end of the world. โWelcome,โ says the Mayor,โ to the New Prentisstown.
Patrick NessI can't even tell you how good it felt to see him. It felt even better when he reached through the metal grate, wrapped his fingers around the front of my shirt, dragged me forward, and kissed me through the bars. "Sorry" he said-only not looking to sorry, if you know what I mean.
Meg CabotIn times of unrest and in an unstable economy, it is very easy to let your attitude slip and begin feeling sorry for yourself.

Say something positive to every person you meet today.

My girlfriend rented the wrong lens..." and he stopped looking at the pictures and he looked up at me and he said, "You shot this with a 50mm? You're hired."

Sometimes he said what she needed, but today he couldn't reach her. Nothing could.

Weโll have to hump and fight later. (Fury)
Sherrilyn KenyonSo, you got QVC? (Simi) Afraid not, sweetie. (Astrid) You got Soap Net? (Zarek shook his head.) You got any TV? (Simi) Sorry. (Zarek) Are you kidding? You boring people. A demon needs her cable. Akri done tricked me. He didnโt tell me Iโd have to go without cable. (Simi)
Sherrilyn KenyonOh, ants, my sisters, good old honeydew-seekers! From close up you are sticky and shiny and gristly; and your nymphs have parasitic red mites stuck to them. You are too intent upon your chewing and gathering to listen to me, but I tell you that despite my warm feelings I really do not like you, and I cannot feel sorry for you in any way because there are too many of you and you are not cute at all. You eat too much of my forests; you are a rebellious tribe, and I will destroy you; I will poison your nests with sweet-smelling traps.

I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again.
Michael PhelpsThere's a sorry history of these kinds of charges of bias being leveled at women and judges of color, and also gay and lesbian judges.

Should I look for Germans, Robin?"
Robin WilliamsIf I have any regrets, I could say that I'm sorry I wasn't a better writer or a better singer...When I was younger, I felt it was my duty to wake people up. I thought poetry was asleep. I thought rock 'n' roll was asleep...An artist may have burdens the ordinary citizen doesn't know, but the ordinary citizen has burdens that many artists never even touch.
Patti Smith
