Quote by D.A. Carson
“You can explain away the feeling of guilt as social conditioning. You can try to erase it. You can find people who’ll tell you that you don’t need to feel it. But guilt is real. And feeling it is part of being a responsible human being. This is what the author Kingsley Amis said in an interview a few years ago, shortly before he died: [To know] you can be forgiven your sins … must be a wonderful thing. I carry my sins around with me. There’s nobody there to forgive them.”
