I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note — torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one. – Henry Ward Beecher
A politics that is not sensitive to the concerns and circumstances of peoples lives, a politics that does not speak to and include people, is an intellectually arrogant politics that deserves to fail. – Paul Wellstone
