Famous quotes containing the word guilt:
“Cheap thrill: moral outrage revels in its own innocence and in the guilt of the wicked Others.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Guilty, guilty, guilty is the chant divorced parents repeat in their heads. This constant reminder remains just below our consciousness. Nevertheless, its presence clouds our judgment, inhibits our actions, and interferes in our relationship with our children. Guilt is a major roadblock to building a new life for yourself and to being an effective parent.”
—Stephanie Marston (20th century)
