“The human capacity for guilt is such that people can always find ways to blame themselves.”

A car crossed two lanes of traffic, flipped, and landed on my dad’s car. I don’t blame cars. My dad loved cars. I don’t have many memories of my dad. The love of cars is all I have of him, really.

Why then should money be blamed for all the dirt and crimes it causes? For is love less filthy – love which creates life?

When the enemy comes with shame and blame, tell him to go measure the distance from east to west and get back to you.

My mum’s always on at me to have children and blames ‘that stupid stage thing you do’ for me not already having a family.

You can do anything in the world if you say “Hey man, don’t blame me, the devil made me do it. It’s an easy way to escape responsibility.”

You got a lot but you just waste all yourself. They’ll forget your name soon and won’t nobody be to blame but yourself.

My mum came from nothing and didn’t have many opportunities in her youth, and she blames a lot of her social inadequacies on that.

I’ve only myself to blame for it, my impotence most of all and my weakness. If I do any good work now it will be only by chance.
