Mistakes

You think that by saying, 'I'm sorry,' all the errors and hurts of years past can be remedied, obliterated from the mind, all the poison drawn from old wounds...

"You know the old phrase 'Those who don't remember the past are condemned to repeat it'? Well, I think those who remember their past are even worse off."

Knowing the wrongs couldn’t alter them.

If a woman cannot make her mistakes charming, she is only a female.

She'd expect that young man to be perfect, smart, and talented, everything to compensate for all the mistakes that she'd made. The whole wasted, unhappy mess of her life.

The only pity was one had to pay so often for a single fault.One had to pay over and over again, indeed.
In her dealings with man Destiny never closed her accounts.

We're landscaping the whole world one stupid mistake at a time.

"O nobly born, let not thy mind be distracted." That was the problem — to remain undistracted. Undistracted by the memory of past sins, by imagined pleasure, by the bitter aftertaste of old wrongs and humiliations, by all the fears and hates and cravings that ordinarily eclipse the Light.
