Mason Cooley Guilt Quotations

Guilt stirs me, but only to self-pity.

Many think that assigning blame settles matters.

Saying "I feel guilty" is a mere form of words. Saying "I feel ashamed" is not.

Guilt agonizes over trifles, ignores habitual wrongdoing.

If "there is no harm in asking," why guilt and fear when we do so?

Cheap thrill: moral outrage revels in its own innocence and in the guilt of the wicked Others.
