I'm still a bit intrigued by the concept of forgiveness in the Christian life. Here are some quotes I found useful:
"To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you."
- C.S. Lewis
"A forgiveness ought to be like a canceled note, torn in two and burned up, so that it can never be shown against the man."
- Henry Beecher
"None of us wants to admit that we hate someone...When we deny our hate we detour around the crisis of forgiveness. We suppress our spite, make adjustments, and make believe we are too good to be hateful. But the truth is that we do not dare to risk admitting the hate we feel because we do not dare to risk forgiving the person we hate."
- Lewis Smeedes
