Quote by Khristin Wierman

“Forgiveness is such a tricky term.” Olivia smoothed her skirt. “What it actually means is an absence of anger or resentment.

“This dynamic, this ‘striving to preserve identity’, however strange the means or effects of such striving, was recognized in psychiatry long ago—and, like so much else, is especially associated with the work of Freud.

Ви не можете повернутись у минуле і змінити їх, навіть якщо вони здаються незавершеними чи несправедливими.”

“A tea master horrified his pupils by planting a hedge in his garden, blocking the view of the Inland Sea for which his school was famous,' I said, half to myself. 'He left only a gap in the hedge and set a basin before it. Anyone drinking from it would have to bend down and look at the sea through the hole.' 'Why do you think he planted the hedge to block out the famous view?' 'Tominaga explained it to me but I've only just really understood it now - the effect of seeing the view is much more powerful than if the sea has not been obstructed.”

“زمانی که حادثه بدی برای ما رخ می دهد، ما را به ژرفای غم و اندوه می کشاند اما تاب آوردن و تحمل این اندوه است که ما را به شادی می رساند. زمانی که می بینیم هر اتفاقی می تواند تا چه اندازه ناخوشایند باشد، قدردان وضعیت موجود خواهیم بود”
