“The forgiveness that comes of patient interpretation seems impossible when those nearest to your heart are threatened.”

“At school, I got into the whole CB thing, hiding a transceiver in my study-bedroom with which I'd make appointments to meet girls in town. I wasn't good enough at physics to take it much further than fun, but I suppose there was a need to communicate.”

“I grew up in the African bush in Malawi, Tanzania and Uganda, which is my thing. I love the smell of the dust as you bump along in a Land-Rover. I go back there often.”

“It's toughest to forgive ourselves. So it's probably best to start with other people. It's almost like peeling an onion. Layer by layer, forgiving others, you really do get to the point where you can forgive yourself.”

“I'm currently in an interesting correspondence with a nun about forgiveness.”

“We win by tenderness. We conquer by forgiveness.”
