Admit Guilt

Famous quotes containing the words admit and/or guilt:

“They are so filthy and bestial that no honest man would admit one into his house for a water-closet doormat.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

“I respect guilt. It is a dangerous but sometimes useful beast. The guilt that made me want to solve all my children’s problems meant trouble. The guilt that made me question my role in our mother-daughter squabbles proved helpful. Yes, I care about my kids’ problems, and I long to make suggestions. But these days I wait for children to ask for help, and I give it sparingly. Some things can’t be fixed, and I tell them so.”
—Susan Ferraro (20th century)
