Absolution Quotes

“Absolution is not the same as understanding.”

“Absolution is the most powerful form of forgiveness. A full pardon from suspicion and accountability. It's the liberation of a stolen future. A future my father never lived to see. Absolution is a mercy the people who killed him will never know.”

“Absolution is the washing away of sin. The promise of rebirth. And the chance to escape the transgressions of those who came before us. The best among us will learn from the mistakes of the past, while the rest seem doomed to repeat them. And then there are those who operate on the fringes of society, unburdened by the confines of morality and conscience. A ruthless breed of monsters whose deadliest weapon is their ability to hide in plain sight. If the people I've come to bring justice to cannot be bound by the quest for absolution, then neither will I.”

“To maintain an ignorance of oneself, is to grieve for the absolution of life.”

“There is a luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves, we feel that no one else has a right to blame us. It is the confession, not the priest, that gives us absolution.”

“You must firmly, absolutely and ruthlessly protect your safety and sanity.”

“Someone's forgiveness will not heal you; condemnation or absolution is their test, not yours.”

“Pause your opinions, debating and absolute knowing for long enough to conceive gratitude.”
