There is no remorse like a remorse of chess. It is a curse upon man. There is no happiness in chess.

H. G. Wells

Friedrich Nietzsche

Dread remorse when you are tempted to err, Miss Eyre; remorse is the poison of life.

Yukio Mishima

Julie Garwood

There's a difference between remorse and repentance. Remorse is being sorry for being caught. Repentance is being sorry enough to stop.

Greg Laurie

Guilt doesn't help. What should fill in for it? Remorse. Remorse is when you feel bad about what you did. Guilt is when you feel bad about who you are.
