I can't tell you proverb

 I can't tell you what art does and how it does it, but I know that often art has judged the judges, pleaded revenge to the innocent and shown to the future what the past suffered, so that it has never been forgotten. Art, when it functions like this, becomes a meeting-place of the invisible, the irreducible, the enduring, guts, and honor.
  John Berger

 Today, Congress gathers near that battlefield to honor the character shown and the courage shown in New York these last 360 days, and to remember every innocent life taken in the attacks of September 11th,
  Dick Cheney

 Two very important and delicate functions, swearing in judges and granting clemency, should not be fulfilled by the president himself in the near future, while he is under investigation by the police,

 The past, if not forgotten, can serve as a guide for the future. By emphasizing the need to always remember the past, we do not mean to continue the hatred. Instead, we want to draw lessons from history and be forward-looking,

 The past is only the present become invisible and mute; and because it is invisible and mute, its memorized glances and its murmurs are infinitely precious. We are tomorrow's past.

 As you know, Mr. Morgan pleaded not guilty. He is presumed innocent in our system of justice.

 Past experiences, if not forgotten, can be a guide for the future,

 It's not why the meeting is taking place, but it will be raised at the meeting as an example of the sort of incident we would hope to see not happen in the future.

 After all that you've said and all that you have done, the law is still in place and nothing has changed – except many people have suffered. Do you really expect the world of man to believe that innocent people had to die so you could make your voice heard?

 You have to be careful, folks, not to let revenge creep into your deliberations. There's no place for revenge in our law.

 It has shown us all how our faith -- whatever our religion -- can inspire us to work together in friendship and peace for the sake of our own and future generations. This last year has reminded us that this world is not always an easy or a safe place to live in, but it is the only place we have.

 What we are left with then is the present, the only time where miracles happen. We place the past and the future as well into the hands of God. The biblical statement that "time shall be no more" means that we will one day live fully in the present, without obsessing about past or future.
  Marianne Williamson

 There are murder victims' family members who go through this process thinking they'll feel peace once the revenge of the death penalty is carried out. What I've learned from meeting with these people is that you don't feel better in revenge. You feel better in forgiveness.

 Looking at a potential future, you would want someone who suffered along with you. He left Iraq when he was 11 or 7. What contacts does he have with people on the street? I would imagine they would want a figure that they know suffered with them.

 Mercury is invisible, and when you have something that's invisible, it's just hard to convey. But when that invisible threat's hitting something and harming it, and you're watching a loon, it definitely hits home.
