The things you did, you know they were not right. But that dose not mean you are not capable of doing right. It only means that you chose to do wrong. This is what I mean when I say you made a mistake. It was the same with me. I made a mistake with Tourteau.
"But the good thing about life, Julian," she continued,"
that we can fix our mistakes sometimes. We learn from them. We get better. I never made a mistake like the one I made with Tourteau again, not with anyone in my life. And I have had avery, very long life. You will learn from your mistake, too. You must promise yourself that you will never behave like that with anyone else again.
One mistake does not define you, Julian. Do you understand me? You must simply act better next time. - P84
