“Mistakes were made.Others were blamed.”
“Mistakes were mistakes, and failures were failures. Why torment someone with memories of their past?”
“Don't blame people for who they are, blame yourself for thinking they were different.”
“The world demands I make good choices on no information, and then blames my maidenhood for my mistakes, as if my maidenhood were responsible for my ignorance. Ignorance is not stupidity, but it might as well be. And I do not like feeling stupid.”
“Only the mistakes were mine.”
“People often vented their rage on those who were the victims of their neglect because they were in truth blaming themselves.”
