“Leo lowered his screwdriver. He looked at the ceiling and shook his head like, What am I gonna do with this guy?
"I try very hard to be annoying," Leo said. "Don't insult my ability to annoy. And how am I supposed to resent you if you go apologizing? I'm a lowly mechanic. You're like the prince of the sky, son of the Lord of the Universe. I'm supposed to resent you."

“What man ever openly apologizes for slander? It is not so much a feeling of slander as it is that of a massive lie, a misdeed not only to the slandered but also to those manipulated in the process.

Noam Chomsky
“The two main criminals are France and the United States. They owe Haiti enormous reparations because of actions going back hundreds of years. If we could ever get to the stage where somebody could say, 'We're sorry we did it,' that would be nice. But if that just assuages guilt, it's just another crime. To become minimally civilized, we would have to say, 'We carried out and benefited from vicious crimes. A large part of the wealth of France comes from the crimes we committed against Haiti, and the United States gained as well. Therefore we are going to pay reparations to the Haitian people.' Then you will see the beginnings of civilization.”
Noam Chomsky, Imperial Ambitions: Conversations on the Post-9/11 World

Randy Pausch
“If other people owe you an apology, and your words of apology to them are proper and heartfelt, you still may not hear from them for a while. After all, what are the odds that they get to the right emotional place to apologize at the exact moment you do? So just be patient. Many times in my career, I saw students apologize, and then several days later, their teammates came around. Your patience will be both appreciated and rewarded.”
Randy Pausch

Ocean Vuong
“...sorry is a tool one uses to pander until the word itself becomes currency. It no longer merely apologizes, but insists, reminds: I'm here, right here, beneath you. It is the lowering of oneself so that the client feels right, superior, and charitable... one's definition of sorry is deranged into a new word entirely, one that's charged and reused as both power and defacement at once. Being sorry pays, being sorry even, or especially, when one has no fault, is worth every self-deprecating syllable the mouth allows. Because the mouth must eat.”
Ocean Vuong

“She remembered the first time she鈥檇 seen him at the Menagerie. He paid Tante Heleen for information鈥攕tock tips, political pillow talk, anything the Menagerie鈥檚 clients blabbed about when drunk or giddy on bliss. He never visited Heleen鈥檚 girls, though plenty would have been happy to take him up to their rooms. They claimed he gave them the shivers, that his hands were permanently stained with blood beneath those black gloves, but she鈥檇 recognized the eagerness in their voices and the way they tracked him with their eyes.

One night, as he鈥檇 passed her in the parlor, she鈥檇 done a foolish thing, a reckless thing. 鈥淚 can help you,鈥 she鈥檇 whispered. He鈥檇 glanced at her, then proceeded on his way as if she鈥檇 said nothing at all. The next morning, she鈥檇 been called to Tante Heleen鈥檚 parlor. She鈥檇 been sure another beating was coming or worse, but instead Kaz Brekker had been standing there, leaning on his crow-head cane, waiting to change her life.

鈥淚 can help you,鈥 she said now.

鈥淗elp me with what?鈥

She couldn鈥檛 remember. There was something she was supposed to tell him. It didn鈥檛 matter anymore.

鈥淭alk to me, Wraith.鈥

鈥淵ou came back for me.鈥

鈥淚 protect my investments.鈥

Investments. 鈥淚鈥檓 glad I鈥檓 bleeding all over your shirt.鈥

鈥淚鈥檒l put it on your tab.鈥

Now she remembered. He owed her an apology. 鈥淪ay you鈥檙e sorry.鈥

鈥淔or what?鈥

鈥淛ust say it.”
Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows
