A Broken and a Contrite Heart

From the film and soon-to-be-published novel, Healing River:

“You know how you can’t actually fly in a picture of an airplane?” Peter asked.

“Huh?” The boy sat up despite himself.

“Well, forgiveness, real forgiveness, is a plane you can fly in. It’s so much better than pretending you don’t need to be forgiven.”
