Guilt

*Now guilt (for those of
you who have never experienced the emotion) is a dreadful annoyance, souring
one's life and making one unable to enjoy properly any renown or riches that
come one's way. One is bowed down by its weight and is rendered fearful of
the (usually imaginary) accusing eye of public disapproval.

*Their terror had the
evasive quality of guilt; it was not the fear that comes from understanding,
but from the refusal to understand.
