We value apology in the abstract, but turn our backs on it in practice.

You don't have to see eye-to-eye to walk hand-in-hand. You just have to want to go in the same direction.

Progress occurs one apology at a time.

Apology sends the clearest signal that we have the strength of character to reconcile ourselves with the truth.

An effective apology contains within it the answer to the question, "How am I to be held accountable?"

An effective apology focuses more on compassion for the victim than redemption for the offender.

Apologies have more power than most of us realize to restore strained relationships, free us from vengeful impulses, and create possibilities for growth.

Apology is both transactional, in that it restores what has been broken to what it was before, and transformational, in that it creates opportunities that didn't exist before.

When I accept an apology it means that the part in me that honors our relationship honors the part in you that honors our relationship.

You can't talk your way out of a situation you acted you way into.

Accepting the apology signals the acknowledgment of a need to move forward, but not necessarily together.

Narratives can make us understand. Photographs do something else: they haunt us.

Leaders are called upon to build not to repair.

I would have thought this would make me feel better.. getting to be the one to leave and not the one left behind. But it didn't. Not at all.

I earn that I eat get that I wear owe no man hate envy no man's happiness glad of other men's good content with my harm.

I hate it when bands change between records. They're thinking before they make music.

We are convinced that certain people have all the bad qualities we do not know in ourselves.

While I'm not a celebrity, it's such a weird concept that society has cooked up for us. Astronauts and teachers are much more amazing than actors.

I don't know what's better: getting laid or getting paid. I just know when I'm getting one, the other's getting away.

I will fly around the world doing good for the environment.
