Murder is unique in that it abolishes the party it injures, so that society has to take the place of the victim and on his behalf demand atonement or grant forgiveness; it is the one crime in which society has a direct interest.

With the author

We are all here on earth to help others; what on earth the others are here for I don't know.

W. H. Auden

History is, strictly speaking, the study of questions; the study of answers belongs to anthropology and sociology.

W. H. Auden

Learn from your dreams what you lack.

W. H. Auden

In times of joy, all of us wished we possessed a tail we could wag.

W. H. Auden

When I find myself in the company of scientists, I feel like a shabby curate who has strayed by mistake into a room full of dukes.

W. H. Auden

It is a sad fact about our culture that a poet can earn much more money writing or talking about his art than he can by practicing it.

W. H. Auden

Of all possible subjects, travel is the most difficult for an artist, as it is the easiest for a journalist.

W. H. Auden

Thousands have lived without love, not one without water.

The first step in forgiveness is the willingness to forgive.

Marianne Williamson

I really do believe that God is love, one of deep affection and grace and forgiveness and inspiration.

William P. Young

Paula Deen is a human being. She deserves forgiveness and a chance at redemption as much as anyone else. America is about redemption.

Don Lemon

I believe in the forgiveness of sin and the redemption of ignorance.

Adlai Stevenson II

Prejudice is sinful. All blood flows red. And the most harmful and foolish kind of prejudice is prejudice against yourself. Every woman is your sister, and every woman needs her sisters. So try to give other women the courtesy of your compassion, respect, and forgiveness. Love yourself despite - and because of - your flaws.

Jewell Parker Rhodes

If there are occasions when my grape turned into a raisin and my joy bell lost its resonance, please forgive me. Charge it to my head and not to my heart.

Jesse Jackson

Historically, narratives of forgiveness were part of both the anti-slavery movement and the civil rights movement in America. 'Uncle Tom's Cabin,' for instance, was based loosely on the life of the Rev. Josiah Henson, who forgave his master that wanted to sell him and beat him after Henson begged him not to.

Anthea Butler

Forgiveness provides hope, joy, and a bright future that nothing else can.
