1 " She was evil. Couldn't he, who killed demons with his own hands, realize that? And now I had to run for Mardi Gras Queen because of him. Or her. I didn't know whose fault it was but there was no way I could back down now. "
― Jenna-Lynne Duncan , Aftermath (Hurricane, #2)
2 " There's enough grief in this world without always getting into whose fault it is. "
― Lisa Samson , Hollywood Nobody (Hollywood Nobody, #1)
3 " Once they have been affected---once " it" sets in---codependency takes on a life of its own. It is similar to catching pneumonia or picking up a destructive habit. Once you've got it, you've got it.If you want to get rid of it, YOU have to do something to make it go away. It doesn't matter whose fault it is. Your codependency becomes your problem; solving your problems is your responsibility. "
4 " And whose fault was it that the boy swallowed down lies, when no one would feed him the truth? "
― Lois McMaster Bujold
5 " College feminists made fun of skyscrapers, saying they were phallic symbols. They said the same thing about space rockets, even though, if you stopped to think about it, rockets were shaped the way they were not because of phallocentrism but because of aerodynamics. Would a vagina-shaped Apollo 11 have made it to the moon? Evolution had created the penis. It was a useful structure for getting certain things done. And if it worked for the pistils of flowers as well as the inseminatory organs of Homo sapiens, whose fault was that but Biology's? But no--anything large or grand in design, any long novel, big sculpture, or towering building, became, in the opinion of the " women" Mitchell knew at college, manifestations of male insecurity about the size of their penises. "
6 " You see that girl over there? The one being picked on? Do you know whose fault it is that she's being picked on? Society. Just because she doesn't look and dress a certain way makes her different. Like how dare she be different?! No, how dare you pick on someone just because they aren't afraid to be different, just because they don't follow society's rules of what makes you 'perfect' and 'popular' It's pathetic because if she turned up to school tomorrow looking like a freaking super model straight from a magazine those people picking on her would be tripping over their f-ing feet to be her friend. Because that's just how society works. "
7 " You don't even know me," I said." And whose fault is that?" " Cinderella's" Two creases formed between Jake's eyebrows." Cinderella's?" " Yeah, Cinderella screwed me over." Without any more explanation, I got into my car, pulled the door closed, and fired up the engine. "
8 " But Time Lords always travel in the T – in their Spectrels, don't they?" " Only if absolutely necessary." " You what?" " It's another myth put about by those scoundrels. Dramatic effect and all that. It's all his fault." " What do you mean?" " Who's fault." " No, I asked you first." " No, you clot. It's Who's fault – Dr bloody Who. That's who!" " Why?" " No, not Why. I said it's Who's fault." " Whose fault?" " Yes. Who." " What?" " No! Listen, damn you. Don't bring Why or What into it. It's nothing to do with them. It's Who's fault." " That's what I'm trying to establish, Doctor. Whose fault is it?" " Yes. It's Who's fault; now, can we just bloody get on with it and stop arguing the toss and bringing the others into it? "
9 " The hole in my heart, I can’t even begin to describe. It’s hard when you open your heart and let someone in and then suddenly they’re not in it anymore. It doesn’t matter whose fault it is; that empty spot stings so bad that you want to find any kind of relief, or wrap yourself up so tight you can’t feel it anymore. I knew it might be there a little while. Or maybe even a long while. For both of us. "
― Bill Konigsberg , Openly Straight (Openly Straight, #1)
10 " If you taught me to read and provided for me the same computer system as someone has provided for Stephen Hawking, I, too, would write great books. And yet you don't teach me to read, and you don't give me a computer stick I can push around with my nose to point at the next letter I wish typed. So whose fault is it that I am what I am? "
― Garth Stein , The Art of Racing in the Rain
11 " Little is known about the love lives of the undead. Really, past the brain-eating, reanimated corpse angle, not much is said for the zombie’s perspective. So they ate brains—big deal! Sure, they were corpses—so what? Indeed, there was the smell, but whose fault was that?At first glance they were brain-hungry cannibals, (Mmm, brains. Maybe with a little cilantro or a garlic rub—mashed potatoes and brainsloaf—brains pot pie—penne a la brains...) but in reality, zombies were not the mindless man-eaters or virus-addled lunatics jonesing for human flesh depicted in the movies. Just like everything in life—or rather, unlife—things were more complicated. Zombies were, until very recently, people. And with that came wants, desires, longings. Needs.Asher had been troubled by the zombie loneliness until Brenda, the attractive corpse he’d met in a less animated state earlier, pulled him into the cemetery, threw him down on a slab and shagged him silly. "

12 " Two-thirty comes during Testifying. It's Janine, telling about how she was gang-raped at fourteen and had an abortion.But whose fault was it? Aunt Helena says, holding up one plump finger. Her fault, her fault, her fault. We chant in unison. Who led them on? She did. She did. She did. Why did God allow such a terrible thing to happen? Teach her a lesson. Teach her a lesson. Teach her a lesson. "
― Margaret Atwood , The Handmaid's Tale (The Handmaid's Tale, #1)
13 " Unemployment is sky-rocketing; deflation is in our future for the first time since the Great Depression. I don't care whose fault it is, it's the truth. "
