“There are no explanations for human evil. Only excuses.”
“At the end of the day, let there be no excuses, no explanations, no regrets.”
“I make no excuse for what happened. Drunkenness is never more than a symptom, not an absolute cause, and I realize that it would be wrong of me to try to defend myself. Nevertheless, there is at least the possibility of an explanation.”
“There is a rational explanation for everything, regardless of whether that explanation is known.”
“A psychological explanation of our feelings is not a moral explanation of our conduct.”
