“I never cut my neighbor's throat;
My neighbor's gold I never stole;
I never spoiled his house and land;
But God have mercy on my soul!

For I am haunted night and day
By all the deeds I have not done;
O unattempted loveliness!
O costly valor never won!”
― Marguerite Wilkinson

“Guilt is a useless feeling. It's never enough to make you change direction--only enough to make you useless.”
― Daniel Nayeri, Another Faust

“I won't cry. When the guilt is this heavy, you can't. It just settles and stays with you, and it's cold.”
― Bethany Griffin, Masque of the Red Death

“I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better.”
― Maya Angelou
