I'd rather have Ben Affleck feeling something than twenty minutes of punching CGI Zod. You want moments that resonate with your audience.

I want to see you game, boys, I want to see you brave and manly, and I also want to see you gentle and tender.

The tragedy of our lives is that, while we suffer from the wounds afflicted on us by those who love us, we cannot avoid wounding those we want to love.

Human beings want to see each other. We want to be heard by each other.

We must not be surprised when we hear of murders, killings, of wars, or of hatred...If a mother can kill her own child, what is left but for us to kill each other?

the better angels of our nature

Forgiveness is the currency of heaven.

Forgiveness has no limit. There's an endless supply.

Grace isn't just for other people. Maybe you didn't get that memo.

Forgiveness isn't for the person you're forgiving… It's for yourself. It's hat you do to be set free.

Because life didn't just come with better . . . it came with worse, too. A worse that God could have fixed, perhaps, if she'd let Him, so long ago. She hadn't wanted to take the risk of a broken heart. Of getting hurt over and over again. But wasn't that the nature of love? Risking betrayal? Forgiving? Wiping the slate clean and starting over? Wasn't that the nature of God?

God knows how tough it is to forgive, especially when someone has done you wrong. But He does expect you to do it. And He expects you to be patient and trust Him to work in others' lives. Psalm 37. It's one of my favorites, especially when I know God wants me to do something impossible, like forgive.
