"Injuries may be forgiven, but not forgotten."
"Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names."
"Part of the function of memory is to forget; the omni-retentive mind will break down and produce at best an idiot savant who can recite a telephone book, and at worst a person to whom every grudge and slight is as yesterday's."
"I'm impressed. You've pleased me. Your recent stumblings... they are forgiven, but never forgotten."

Kratos: Athena, rid me of the memories that haunt me still.
Athena: You have done well, Kratos. Though we mourn the death of our brother, the gods are indebted to you. We promised your sins will be forgiven, and so they are. But we never promised to never take away your nightmares. No man or god will ever forget the terrible deeds you have done.

Makarov: I know. A truly despicable act that I will never completely forgive. But for me, letting a young man fall into darkness when I know I could have done something to prevent it is something that is even more unforgivable.

Morpheus: You would forgive him? For what he has done?
Calliope: I will not forgive what he has done. But I must forgive the man. Not for him. For me.
"Just because you lost me as a friend doesn't mean you gained me as a enemy. I'm bigger than that. I still wanna see you eat, just not at my table."
"These pardoned lords would do well to reflect on that. Good men and true will fight for Joffrey, wrongly believing him the true king. A northman might even say the same of Robb Stark. But these lords who flocked to my brother's banners knew him for a usurper. They turned their backs on their rightful king for no better reason than dreams of power and glory, and I have marked them for what they are. Pardoned them, yes. Forgiven. But not forgotten."
— Stannis Baratheon, A Clash of Kings
