“You only have to forgive once. To resent, you have to do it all day, every day. You have to keep remembering all the bad things….we always have a choice. All of us.” (323)
“There are many more days to travel in this life. And he knows that the man who makes the journey has been shaped by every day and every person along the way. Scars are just another kind of memory.” (343)
