Forgiving is not forgetting; its actually remembering--remembering and not using your right to hit back. Its a second chance for a new beginning. And the remembering part is particularly important. Especially if you dont want to repeat what happened.

Desmond Tutu

What made losing someone you loved bearable was not remembering but forgetting. Forgetting small things first... it's amazing how much you could forget, and everything you forgot made that person less alive inside you until you could finally endure it. After more time passed you could let yourself remember, even want to remember. But even then what you felt those first days could return and remind you the grief was still there, like old barbed wire embedded in a tree's heartwood.

Ron Rash

Just remember enough never to be vulnerable again: total forgetting could be as self-destructive as complete remembering.

Helen Clark MacInnes

Forgiving is forgetting, in spite of remembering.

Dag Hammarskjold

Remembering. Forgetting. I'm not sure which is worse.

Kelley Armstrong

Forgetting is natural, remembering is the effort one makes.

William Kentridge

Forgiving is not forgetting. It is remembering and letting go.

Claudia Black

Why is it that we are born remembering, and live forgetting?

Elise M. Boulding

The problem of forgetting might not torment us so much if we could only convince ourselves that remembering isn't important. Perhaps the things we learn - words, dates, formulas, historical and biographical details - don't really matter. Facts can be looked up. That's what the Internet is for.
