Additional quotes by Desmond Tutu
Forgiveness is the only way to heal ourselves and to be free from the past. Without forgiveness, we remain tethered to the person who harmed us. We are bound to the chains of bitterness, tied together, trapped. Until we can forgive the person who harmed us, that person will hold the keys to our happiness, that person will be our jailor. When we forgive, we take back control of our own fate and our feelings. We become our own liberator.

God created us in such a way that I cannot be human on my own. I wouldn't know how to walk, how to think, how o speak, how to be human except through learning from other human beings. So our humanity is bound with one another's. If you carry out a policy that dehumanizes others, in the process you are dehumanized. In order for me to be me, I want to forgive you.
