“Guilt [is] a tool, rather than a weapon against the self.”

“I would rather be dead than empty”

“I am still the person who would have died rather than kill you”

“Let the guilt teach you how to behave next time,”

“Grief is not as heavy as guilt, but it takes more away from you.”

“God, Four!" I snap. "You don't want to have to tell me everything right away, but I have to tell you everything right away? Can't you see how stupid that is?""First of all, don't use that name like a weapon against me," he says, pointing at me.”

“Maybe time would not feel as heavy if I didn't have this guilt -- the guilt of knowing the truth and stuffing it down where no one can see it, not even Tobias. Maybe I should not be so afraid of saying anything, because honesty will make me feel lighter.”
