Quote by Gail Giles

“I figured out that I can't forget. I can't really forgive. But I can live. Live with it. Like you live with a scar or a limp or whatever. You always know it's there. It reminds you never to let yourself do anything so stupid and horrible and wrong again. I step out of my rut, step again, and keep stepping. (277)”

The first thing we need to do is recognize and trust our own Inner Nature, and not lose sight of it.”
