“Blaming is so much easier than taking responsibility, because if you take responsibility … then you might be to blame.”

“Winners take responsibility, losers blame others.”

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

“If you take responsibility and blame yourself, you have the power to change things. But if you put responsibility on someone else, then you are giving them the power to decide your fate.”

“Dillon, all you have in this world, really, are your responses to it. Responses to your feelings and responses to what comes in from outside. You know how adults are always trying to get you to take responsibility? That's all responsibility is, responding to the world, owning your responses. It isn't about taking blame or finding out if something's your fault.”

“There is an expiry date on blaming your parents for steering you in the wrong direction; the moment you are old enough to take the wheel, responsibility lies with you.”
