Quotes / Spared, but Not Forgiven

"Arinbjorn, I have thought about the outcome of my dealings with Egil. You have presented Egil's case so fervently that you were even prepared to enter into conflict with me. For your sake, I will do as you have asked and let Egil leave, safe and unharmed. You, Egil, will arrange things so that the moment you leave this room, neither I nor my sons will ever set eyes upon you again. Never cross my path nor my men's. I am letting you keep your head for the time being. Since you put yourself into my hands, I do not want to commit a base deed against you. But you can be sure that this is not a reconciliation with me or my sons, nor any of my kinsmen who wants to seek justice."
King Eirik Bloodaxe, Egil's Saga

Born in grief, raised in hate
Helpless to defy his fate
Let him run, let him live
But do not forget what we cannot forgive
— Lyrics to Not One of Us, The Lion King II: Simba's Pride
