~ Sin with the multitude, and your responsibility and guilt are as great and as truly personal, as if you alone had done the wrong ~ ~ Guilt is the very nerve of sorrow ~ ~ Where all are guilty, no one is; confessions of collective guilt are the best possible safeguard against the discovery of culprits, and the very magnitude of the crime the best excuse for doing nothing ~ ~ Guilt or innocence becomes irrelevant in the criminal trials as we flounder in a morass of artificial rules poorly conceived and often impossible to apply ~ ~ Moralists and philosophers have adjudged those who throw temptation in the way of the erring, equally guilty with those who are thereby led into evil ~ ~ What we call real estate - the solid ground to build a house on - is the broad foundation on which nearly all the guilt of this world rests ~ ~ It is quite gratifying to feel guilty if you haven't done anything wrong: how noble! Whereas it is rather hard and certainly depressing to admit guilt and to repent ~ ~ This young man-whether he's my son or a stranger-repeatedly declares, "I didn't do it, I didn't do it." And he's shot down. That's not the American way of life. A man is innocent until he's proved guilty ~ ~ Successful guilt is the bane of society ~ ~ Guilt is regret for what we’ve done.
Regret is guilt for what we didn’t do. ~ ~ You cut up a thing that's alive and beautiful to find out how it's alive and why it's beautiful, and before you know it, it's neither of those things, and you're standing there with blood on your face and tears in your sight and only the terrible ache of guilt to show for it. ~ ~ I have half a conscience to go ahead and do it, and feel guilty afterwards ~ |
