Quote

A confession has to be part of your new life.

Confession alone is not necessarily good for the soul.

Many religious confessions share common values. They teach that we should do unto others as we would have them do unto us.

Confessions are not processed or analysed; they're told in a moment of desperation to a priest or to somebody interrogating you about a crime.

There is no refuge from confession but suicide; and suicide is confession.

Confession is always weakness. The grave soul keeps its own secrets, and takes its own punishment in silence.

Confession of errors is like a broom which sweeps away the dirt and leaves the surface brighter and clearer. I feel stronger for confession.

I don't confess in my work because to me, that implies that you're dumping all your guilt and sins on the page and asking the reader to forgive you.
