I love what Erica Jong wrote:

"No one to blame!...That was why most people led lives they hated, with people they hated....How wonderful to have someone to blame! How wonderful to live with one's nemesis! You may be miserable, but you feel forever in the right. You may be fragmented, but you feel absolved of all the blame for it. Take your life in your own hands, and what happens? A terrible thing: no one to blame."

Truly, we are left without excuse, and must look in the mirror when we realize that we are the ones that hold the power to changes our lives.
