    “Now I don’t know why I forgive the things you do to me /
    I don’t know why I don’t have the guts to set you free /
    If I had one last wish I know what that would be /
    Well, I’d wish I weren’t your prisoner and that I could be released /”
    Reckless Kelly, Back Around

    “There are some who say you should forgive everyone, even the people who have disappointed you immeasurably. There are others who say you should not forgive anyone, and should stomp off in a huff no matter how many times they apologize. Of these two philosophies, the second one is of course much more fun, but it can also grow exhausting to stomp off in a huff every time someone has disappointed you, as everyone disappoints everyone eventually, and one can’t stop off in a huff every minute of the day.”
    Lemony Snicket, Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can’t Avoid

    “This shirt was the one I lent you /
    And when you gave it back /
    There was a rip inside the sleeve /
    Where you rolled your cigarettes /
    It was the place I put my heart /
    Now look at where you put a tear /
    I forgave your thoughtlessness /
    But not the boy who put it there /”
    Mary Chapin Carpenter, This Shirt

    “And the story goes she never forgave him. She looked out the window her whole life, the way so many women sit their sadness on an elbow. I wonder if she made the best with what she got or was she sorry because she couldn’t be all the things she wanted to be. Esperanza. I have inherited her name, but I don’t want to inherit her place by the window.”
    Sandra Cisneros, The House on Mango Street
