Thanks! I found out about that yesterday lunchtime, but no-one had figured out who wrote the first sentence yet.
Either way, it fit my mood perfectly, regardless of first use.

Yeah even if you take out her line it still has the same sentiment really. No worries.


To add to this though I have to say there are some instances where retribution is just the nature of things. I'd love to believe that the world would be a better place if we all just lived by the idea to forgive and forget but it's just not true. Surely no one can expect us to just let Osama off completely after his involvement in mass killings.

One of my favorite quotes is by Nietzsche and is as follows “Distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful.” Which I agree with and try to live by. But I think this is just one of those cases where an infatuation with punishment can be excused.
