Quote

Think of how many boring, blameless lives are brightened by the blazing indiscretion of me.

Blame is just a lazy person's way of making sense of chaos.

There is a luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves we feel no one else has a right to blame us.

When you cease to exist, then who will you blame?

You take your life in your own hands, and what happens? A terrible thing: no one to blame.

Life is to blame for everything.

In life, you can blame a lot of people and you can wallow in self-pity, or you can pick yourself up and say, 'Listen, I have to be responsible for myself.'

The longer I live, the more I feel that the individual is not so much to blame - not even the worst individuals, not even the 'best' citizens - as the system of corruption which has grown up about us, and which rewards an honest man with a mere living and a crook with all the magnificence of our magnificent modern life.
