Catherynne M. Valente quote #360 from The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There

For there are two kinds of forgiveness in the world the one you practice because everything really is all right and what went before is mended. The other kind of forgiveness you practice because someone needs desperately to be forgiven or because you need just as badly to forgive them for a heart can grab hold of old wounds and go sour as milk over them.

Jim Morrison famous quote #249

Thats what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is. Most people love you for who you pretend to be. To keep their love you keep pretending - performing. You get to love your pretence. Its true were locked in an image an act - and the sad thing is people get so used to their image they grow attached to their masks. They love their chains. They forget all about who they really are. And if you try to remind them they hate you for it they feel like youre trying to steal their most precious possession.
