• Una persona es una persona a través de otras personas. Ninguno de nosotros viene al mundo completamente formado. No sabríamos pensar, ni andar, ni hablar, ni comportarnos como seres humanos si no lo aprendiéramos de otros seres humanos. Necesitamos a otros seres humanos para ser humanos. Soy porque otras personas lo son. Una persona tiene derecho a una vida comunitaria estable, y la primera de estas comunidades es la familia.

• True forgiveness deals with the past, all of the past, to make the future possible. We cannot go on nursing grudges even vicariously for those who cannot speak for themselves any longer.
