“Shame or remorse or society’s disapproval is powerless today to induce a desire to change, because the ideas that shape our culture make shame a hangover of an antiquated religious world-view…Shame is to the moral health of a society what pain is to the body. It is the sense of shame that provides an indicator to the mind… The loss of shame in a society is ultimately an attack upon all of civilization…

To raise a child without shame is to raise one with no immune system against evil.”
