Second chances are about holding on to that other persons hand no matter how hard they beg to let go.

And anyone who has ever put a loaded pistol up to his head... All right, my point is this: even the most well-adjusted person is holding onto his or her sanity by a greased rope. I really believe that. The rationality circuits are shoddily built into the human animal.

  Stephen King

  If you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels freeing you from the earth.

  Meister Eckhart

  Letting Go, Memories, Angel
