“I would never have named them in thefirst place as they are not the ones I hold responsible. It's the organization that's to blame, the high officials are the ones to blame.”

“I was afraid, though, the blame would find a way to stick to them. That's how blame was.”

“Empowerment is being aware that there is no one to blame for my choices and actions; that I have a personal choice and responsibility for my life.”

“Why do they blame me for all their little failings? They use my name as if I spent my entire days sitting on their shoulders, forcing them to commit acts they would otherwise find repulsive. 'The devil made me do it.' I have never made one of them do anything. Never. They live their own tiny lives. I do not live their lives for them.”

“Because assigning blame assigns responsibility. So I blame myself and give myself the responsibility to make it right.”

“A rational anarchist believes that concepts such as ‘state’ and ‘society’ and ‘government’ have no existence save as physically exemplified in the acts of self-responsible individuals. He believes that it is impossible to shift blame, share blame, distribute blame… as blame, guilt, responsibility are matters taking place inside human beings singly and nowhere else. But being rational, he knows that not all individuals hold his evaluations, so he tries to live perfectly in an imperfect world…aware that his effort will be less than perfect yet undismayed by self-knowledge of self-failure.[...]“My point is that one person is responsible. Always. [...] In terms of morals there is no such thing as ‘state.’ Just men. Individuals. Each responsible for his own acts.”
