There it was before her - life. Life: she thought but she did not finish her thought. She took a look at life, for she had a clear sense of it there, something real, something private, which she shared neither with her children nor with her husband. A sort of transaction went on between them, in which she was on one side, and life was on another, and she was always trying to get the better of it, as it was of her; and sometimes they parleyed (when she sat alone); there were, she remembered, great reconciliation scenes; but for the most part, oddly enough, she must admit that she felt this thing that she called life terrible, hostile, and quick to pounce on you if you gave it a chance.

An emancipated society on the other hand would not be a unitary state but the realization of universality in the reconciliation of differences.

I will try to work for greater reconciliation cooperation and peace in North East Asia based on correct perception of history.

Before Nelson Mandela was arrested in 1962 he was an angry relatively young man. He founded the ANC's military wing. When he was released he surprised everyone because he was talking about reconciliation and forgiveness and not about revenge.

The passion of hatred is so long lived and so obstinate a malady that the surest sign of death in a sick person is their desire for reconciliation.

Reconciliation requires changes of heart and spirit as well as social and economic change. It requires symbolic as well as practical action.

I would hope that understanding and reconciliation are not limited to the 19th hole alone.
