Guilt Quotes
-
Their guilt made me eloquent because I was not its victim.
Albert Camus -
I always take blushing either for a sign of guilt, or of ill breeding.
William Congreve

Esther Perel -
I don't feel any 'white guilt,' because I had nothing to do with (slavery) whatsoever. I feel shame for my country that it happened and that's why I feel we need to deal with it.
Quentin Tarantino -
Segregation, as even the segregationists know in their hearts, is morally wrong and sinful. If it weren't, the white South would not be haunted as it is by a deep sense of guilt for what it has done to the Negro - guilt for patronizing him, degrading him, brutalizing him, depersonalizing him, thingifying him; guilt for lying to itself. This is the source of the schizophrenia that the South will suffer until it goes through its crisis of conscience.
Martin Luther King, Jr. -
To the extent we are perceiving anyone's guilt -choosing to focus on the errors of their personality rather than the eternal innocence of their spirit - we're closing our hearts, deflecting a miracle and causing our own inevitable suffering.
Marianne Williamson -
Do you not know that you are Eve? The judgment of God upon this sex lives on in this age; therefore, necessarily the guilt should live on also. You are the gateway of the devil; you are the one who unseals the curse of that tree, and you are the first one to turn your back on the divine law; you are the one who persuaded him whom the devil was not capable of corrupting; you easily destroyed the image of God, Adam. Because of what you deserve, that is, death, even the Son of God had to die.
Tertullian -
In my food world, there is no fear or guilt, only joy and balance. So no ingredient is ever off-limits. Rather, all of the recipes here follow my Usually-Sometimes-Rarely philosophy. Notice there is no Never.
Ellie Krieger
-
But when we reduce sex to a function, we also invoke the idea of dysfunction. We are no longer talking about the art of sex; rather, we are talking about the mechanics of sex. Science has replaced religion as the authority; and science is a more formidable arbiter. Medicine knows how to scare even those who scoff at religion. Compared with a diagnosis, what's a mere sin? We used to moralize; today we normalize, and performance anxiety is the secular version of our old religious guilt.
Esther Perel -
The right combination of guilt and machismo has sent many a fool out into the jungle when he should have stayed home.
Jimmy Buffett -
The extent of one man's guilt may be defined by how much of it is experienced by the party he injured.
Ryszard Kapuscinski -
Most of the White people I talk to either have not thought about their race and so don't feel anything, or have thought about it and felt guilt and shame. These feelings of guilty and shame are part of the hidden costs of racism.
Beverly Daniel Tatum -
Guilt is really the reverse side of the coin of pride. Guilt aims at self-destruction, and pride aims at the destruction of others.
William Griffith Wilson -
All men alike stand condemned, not by alien codes of ethics, but by their own, and all men therefore are conscious of guilt.
C. S. Lewis
-
Before any final solution to American history can occur, a reconciliation must be effected between the spiritual owner of the land - American Indians - and the political owner of the land - American Whites. Guilt and accusations cannot continue to revolve in a vacuum without some effort at reaching a solution.
Vine Deloria, Jr. -
It is rather hard and certainly depressing to admit guilt and to repent.
Hannah Arendt -
Guilt kept me going. It was impossible not to blame myself for what had happened, but even guilt was a comfort. It was a human feeling, a sign that I was still attached to the same world that other men lived in.
Paul Auster -

He that's ungrateful, has no guilt but one; All other crimes may pass for virtues in him.
Edward Joseph Young -
I don't have any guilt. Because I grew up Catholic and with so much guilt, I've worked hard at getting rid of it.
Vivian Campbell Def Leppard
-
Insults fade after years of use, becoming blunt like battle-weary blades. Insults rely on probing the open wounds of shame and guilt. She had neither.
Ben Galley -
Guilt and no guilt: these were the worst things. The only thing worse than the guilt was the fear of getting caught.
Elin Hilderbrand -
Confession of one's guilt purifies and uplifts. Its suppression is degrading and should always be avoided.
Mahatma Gandhi -
Dear to me is sleep: still more, being made of stone, While pain and guilt still linger here below, Blindness and numbness--these please me alone; Then do not wake me, keep your voices low.
Michelangelo
