« "Without forgiveness, we would remain prisoners of our actions and their consequences," Hanna Arendt said. Forgiveness is neither rational nor just, but it gives us joy and serenity and is the necessary condition for the extinction of violence. Forgiving is not to forget. It is about alleviating the wound caused by others, in a given context, environment, and doing everything possible to ensure that the resulting situation of the injury does not occur again. It is always a profound, personal choice, an act of heart, a spiritual act, sometimes inexplicable, and not devoid of a certain mystical dimension. »

« A wise man spoke and said: "How many human beings spend most of their lives worrying about material or futile things and forget to take the time to live the most essential experiences, love, friendship, creative activity, contemplation of the beauty of the world? The superfluous is expensive but the essentials are offered." »

« Love is the fragrance and flavor of life. And even if its taste is sometimes bitter, it gives existence its beauty, its warmth, its magic. »
