“But guilt is guilt. It doesn’t go away. It can’t be nullified. It can’t even be fully understood, I’m certain - its roots run too deep in private and long-standing karma. About the only thing that saves my neck when I get to feeling this way is that guilt is an imperfect form of knowledge. Just because it’s imperfect doesn’t mean it can’t be used. The hard thing to do is to put it to practical use before it gets around to paralyzing you.” - Salinger
