"Forgiveness can only come from within."

"Hope is a dangerous thing."

"To flee is to preserve something precious within you."

"Acceptance is not surrender."

"The voice within cannot be permanently silenced."

"She understands that forgiveness is a burden others place on you."

"There is no hope for me."

"I am just a harami, unworthy of kindness."

"Love can turn a bitter heart sweet."

"We endure, we survive."

"Forgiveness is a luxury reserved for those with power."

"My father never acknowledged me, but I survived."

"In the end, we are all fighting for our children."

"We are defined by our choices, not our circumstances."

"The past cannot be escaped, only endured."

"I am like the weather. Sometimes sunny, sometimes stormy."

"Every word I uttered was a stone I had dropped down a cliff."

"Women like us... we endure."

"Women like us, we endure."

"Suffering is a great teacher. It has made you a better woman."

"I am the bearer of water. I am the maker of fire."

"Women like us... we endure."

"A man can take everything from you, but he cannot take your dignity."

"What they have taken from us is the present. Not the past."

"I am grateful for the life I have lived."

"I am not afraid. I have already been dead for so long."

"To survive is to accept what cannot be changed."

"Kindness in a cruel world is the rarest flower."

"I am like a stone thrown into a still pond. I have already caused ripples."

"I have learned that love is not diminished by time."
