Guilt is a tireless horse. Grief ages into sorrow, and sorrow is an enduring rider.

Dean Koontz

One of the less attractive aspects of human nature is our tendency to hate the people we haven't treated very well; it's much easier than accepting guilt. If we can convince ourselves that the people we betrayed or enslaved were subhuman monsters in the first place, then our guilt isn't nearly so black as we secretly know that it is. Humans are very, very good at shifting blame and avoiding guilt.

David Eddings

sorrow is easier than guilt.

Anne Sexton

With no guilt and no shame, no sorrow or blame. Whatever it is, we are all the same.

Peter Gabriel

True guilt is guilt at the obligation one owes to oneself to be oneself. False guilt is guilt felt at not being what other people feel one ought to be or assume that one is.

R. D. Laing

If you don't enjoy your life, sorrow, sadness, suffering, fear, shame and guilt will.

Iyanla Vanzant

Whatever we have done, we can always make amends for it without ever looking back in guilt or sorrow.

Eknath Easwaran

So the starting point and the basis of their liberal wails of anguish always and always is guilt. Guilt, guilt, guilt.

John Ringo

The very word "sorrow" colours the fact of sorrow, the pain of it.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

I suppose I'm interested in sorrow, which is very different from depression or despair. Sorrow is continuous with the world; it allows for creativity.

Aleksandar Hemon

Make peace with guilt. Guilt is a poisonous illusion. Many languages don't even have a word for guilt.

Kris Carr

Guilt and no guilt: these were the worst things. The only thing worse than the guilt was the fear of getting caught.

Elin Hilderbrand

Make friends with guilt. Guilt is a beautiful emotion that alerts us when something is wrong so that we may achieve peace with our conscience. Without conscience there would be no morality. So we can greet guilt cordially and with acceptance, just as we do all other emotions. After we respond to guilt, it has done its job and we can release it.

Glenn R. Schiraldi

My daughter Gabby very kindly once said that she thinks I was a better mother because I was doing a job I loved. I now think guilt is a universal part of being a mother. I used to think it was Jewish-mother guilt but now I think it is working-mother guilt.

Donna Karan

Hollywood people are filled with guilt: white guilt, liberal guilt, money guilt. They feel bad that they're so rich, they feel they don't work that much for all that money - and they don't, for the amount of money they make.

Drew Carey

What is guilt? Guilt is the pledge drive constantly hammering in our heads that keeps us from fully enjoying the show. Guilt is the reason they put the articles in Playboy.

Dennis Miller
