Unsettled Quotes

“Guilt is appropriate for one part of our legacy though. What we should feel guilt about may not be the stealing itself, but the fact that we keep on refusing to address what the stealing has done. We've resisted listening to First Nations people. We go on rejecting the ideas that they tell us will offer a way forward. We might tell ourselves that we don't need to feel guilty for the past. But we have to accept that we're guilty for what we're doing - or failing to do - in the present.”
― Kate Grenville, Unsettled: A Journey Through Time and Place
