    You can’t change what happened between you and your ex-spouse, but you can change your attitude about it. Forgiveness doesn’t mean that what your ex did was right or that you condone what he or she did; it simply means that you no longer want to hold a grudge.

    Stephanie Marston (20th century)

    Andrews: Do you love her?
    Peter: A normal human being couldn’t live under the same roof with her without going nutty. She’s my idea of nothing!
    Andrews: I asked you a simple question. Do you love her?
    Peter: Yes! But don’t hold it against me. I’m a little screwy myself.
    Robert Riskin (1897–1955)
