I know I'm going to write in a few quotes from the book, Shantaram... this is because it had been a very influential book for me...

It's forgiveness that makes us what we are...

Without forgiveness, there would be no history.

Without that hope, there would be no art, for every work of art is in some way an act of forgiveness.

Without that dream, there would be no love, for every act of love is in some way a promise to forgive.

We live on because we can love, and we love because we can forgive.
