"The urging of that word, judgment, hath..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“Woe, destruction, ruin, and decay; the worst is death and death will have his day.”

“There's no trust, No faith, no honesty in men; all perjured, All forsworn, all naught, all dissemblers.”

“My chastity's the jewel of our house, bequeathed down from many ancestors.”

“Savannah sometimes sounded a lot like the little voice that had taken up residence in my head but never bothered paying rent, and right now it whispered that if I felt guilty, maybe I was doing something wrong.”

“The truly just is he who feels half guilty of your misdeeds.”

“Mr. Montag, you are looking at a coward. I saw the way things were going a long time back. I said nothing. I am one of the innocents who could have spoken up and out when no one would listen to the 'guilty,' but I did not speak and thus became guilty myself.”

“The worst of it is that I am perpetually being punished for nothing; this governor loves to punish, and he punishes by taking my books away from me. It's perfectly awful to let the mind grind itself away between the upper and nether millstones of regret and remorse without respite; with books my life would be livable -- any life.”

“In my age, as in my youth, night brings me many a deep remorse. I realize that from the cradle up I have been like the rest of the race - never quite sane in the night.”

“And how shall you punish those whose remorse is already greater than their misdeeds?”
