- Libba Bray99◆ 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. He has made them all, every one, his enemies, thereupon he is so overwhelmed with guilt that he will deny it until his grave.
- Criss Jami99◆ No guilt is forgotten so long as the conscience still knows of it.
- Stefan Zweig99◆ Guilt is not a response to anger; it is a response to one's own actions or lack of action. If it leads to change then it can be useful, since it is then no longer guilt but the beginning of knowledge. Yet all too often, guilt is just another name for impotence, for defensiveness destructive of communication; it becomes a device to protect ignorance and the continuation of things the way they are, the ultimate protection for changelessness.
- Audre Lorde99◆ I get up and pace the room, as if I can leave my guilt behind me. But it tracks me as I walk, an ugly shadow made by myself.
- Rosamund Lupton99◆ I can learn to live with guilt. I don't care about being good.
- Holly Black99◆ (I)f we are going to be kind, let it be out of simple generosity, not because we fear guilt or retribution.
- J.M. Coetzee99◆ You have a good heart and you think the good thing is to be guilty and kind but it's not always kind to be gentle and soft, there's a genuine violence softness and kindness visit on people. Sometimes self-interested is the most generous thing you can be.
- Tony Kushner99◆ Out, damned spot! out, I say!
- William Shakespeare99◆ Abuse manipulates and twists a child's natural sense of trust and love. Her innocent feelings are belittled or mocked and she learns to ignore her feelings. She can't afford to feel the full range of feelings in her body while she's being abused—pain, outrage, hate, vengeance, confusion, arousal. So she short-circuits them and goes numb. For many children, any expression of feelings, even a single tear, is cause for more severe abuse. Again, the only recourse is to shut down. Feelings go underground.
- Laura Davis99◆ When you are guilty, it is not your sins you hate but yourself.
- Anthony de Mello99◆ To show resentment at a reproach is to acknowledge that one may have deserved it.
- Tacitus99◆ If I had known they were going to do this, I would have become a shoemaker.
- Albert Einstein99◆ Guilty feelings about clothes are totally unnecessary. A lot of people earn their living by making clothes, so you should never feel bad.
- Karl Lagerfeld99◆ Never allow yourself to feel guilty for missing someone. Its just your heart reminding you, how much you love them.
