Food for thought, page 111
- Remembering the past will prevent future crimes and heal countries.
- You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don’t try to forget the mistake, but you don’t dwell on it.
- Forgetting the past is forgetting our roots and our basic structure.
