About This Quote

When you do something wrong that you know is wrong, no matter how much you feel remorse, there is no undoing it. You can't take it back and make things right. Once you've done something wrong, it's done. It's like a crime that can't be forgiven, like a lie that can't be told again. Forgiveness is the act of letting go of the past and moving on.
