The question in the Simpson case has never been whether he is guilty or not guilty but, given the facts and circumstances of this case, whether it is possible for him to be innocent. And the answer to that question has always been an unequivocal no.

There’s a kind of journalistic narcissism that New York-based journalists are guilty of.
Sometimes I forget I have children, which is very strange. I feel guilty about it, as if my inattention will cause something to happen to them, even when I’m not responsible for them – that God will punish me.
There are many who are not guilty of doing anything wrong but very guilty of sins of omission – the things they neglect to do – the good things – the kind, thoughtful words, compassionate thoughts and hopeful attitudes they might have had towards their neighbor.
Every guilty person is his own hangman.
I feel so guilty about the state of young people today. And I say that because our generation fought for everything. We fought to sit down at a counter, to sit on a bus. They were left with nothing to fight for.
A sane mind should not be guilty of a logical fallacy, yet there are very fine minds incapable of following mathematical demonstrations.
When you suddenly become successful, the change is enormous, both financially and in terms of recognition and the way people treat you. I found that hard to deal with. I got very guilty about it, and I think I put up obstacles to prevent myself enjoying it.

I was raised Catholic, and I can get incredibly guilty about mistakes.
I don’t feel guilty about the music I love. If you feel guilty about something you dig, then you should stop feeling guilty about it. One of my favorite albums to this day is the 10th anniversary ensemble cast of ‘Les Miserables,’ the ultimate cast recording, and it is still something I love listening to top to bottom.
I don’t want to forgive myself. That’s why I hate psychoanalysis I think if you’re guilty of something you should live with it. Get rid of it – how can you get rid of a real guilt? I think people should live with it, face up to it.
First as a peace activist in the late ’60s, then as a political activist in the ’70s, and then in joining the armed clandestine resistance movement that was developing in the ’80s, I am guilty of revolutionary and anti-imperialist resistance.
I don’t really have guilty pleasures – I like what I like. But I’ve seen a lot – a lot – of ‘Taxicab Confessions.’
I’ve also learned to no longer feel guilty if I’m invited out and don’t want to go. If I start to say to myself, ‘What’s wrong with you that you’re staying in five nights in a row to watch ‘Forensic Files’ instead of going out with your friends’ I remind myself that it’s what I need to do for myself at that point.
Maybe I am a little bit guilty of trying to convince myself that I am cool to this point – even today. But I am so much more healthy than I used to be in my twenties, because I was not accepted at all.
Just because you’re convicted in a court room doesn’t mean you’re guilty of something.
That’s the way blacks have been encouraged to think: that we got to stick together. You’ve got a situation today where if a black person says he thinks O.J. Simpson’s guilty, other blacks will cut their eyes at him and say, ‘You ought to go somewhere and sit down and shut up.’
I was not a very good mother. I was always running out to do a movie or something. If I had to do it over, I would either have a career or children. I wouldn’t do both unless I could work in my home. I spent 20 years feeling guilty, which is not a very nice emotion.
Much of the time, the things we feel guilty about are not our issues. Another person behaves inappropriately or in some way violates our boundaries. We challenge the behavior, and the person gets angry and defensive. Then we feel guilty.
To Barack Obama and the American Left, the ‘imperialist’ West is always guilty, and so, radical Islam is seen as at least half right in attacking Western values and institutions.
My mom can’t defend herself to the world. She is such an amazing woman, with such an open heart. It’s a real hard line, and I crossed it. I took everyone’s life story and assumed it would be a great thing to put on screen. I was being selfish and I feel so horrible about it. I feel so guilty.
My guilty pleasure is competitive cooking reality shows. I don’t like cooking shows when it’s just about cooking. It has to be competitive – they’re fighting and yelling at each other. I am obsessed with those shows, and I have no idea why.
My guiltiest pleasure is Harry Stephen Keeler. He may have been the greatest bad writer America has ever produced. Or perhaps the worst great writer. I do not know. There are few faults you can accuse him of that he is not guilty of. But I love him.
What upset me the most was not that I would die, but that I was letting down my parents. I felt very guilty for chasing this dream career of mine, at the expense of my parents.

The kids are fixing their eyes on social media, and the stories they’re looking at may not be the most important things. I’m guilty of that, too. Do you want to look at Instagram or the news? It’s a difficult, and weird, situation.

Around the courthouse when defense lawyers are chatting about their cases, the only question they ask each other is can you put your guy on the stand? Those conversations always assume the defendant is guilty. The question is just about the degree of difficulty in presenting a defense.
This is a grueling profession. Either you can’t get work, or you can’t get certain kinds of parts, or you get a part, and it kills you because it’s not good enough, or you get successful and feel guilty about it.
I’d get more applause than some because I was just seventeen. If they didn’t clap at the end of my act I would limp off stage and boy would they feel guilty. They would all burst into tremendous applause as they saw this poor cripple kid walking off.
The guilty think all talk is of themselves.
I read till I fall asleep. Daytime actually I feel guilty reading – I always feel I should be doing something else!
He who is void of virtuous attachments in private life is, or very soon will be, void of all regard for his country. There is seldom an instance of a man guilty of betraying his country, who had not before lost the feeling of moral obligations in his private connections.
Most people don’t go around talking about their miscarriages. It’s not really something you shout about. What’s more, people often feel embarrassed or even guilty about them.
