It is not Kafka's fault that his wonderful writings have lately turned into a fad, and are read by people who have neither the ability nor the desire to absorb literature.

As soon as you make mistakes, or you have an off year, even if it's not your fault as a quarterback... I've always said the quarterback and the head coach always get too much blame when you lose and too much credit when you win.

It's very difficult to determine whether this is the fault of the world that has abandoned the Church, or the Church that does not know how to relate to the world.

It's my fault in many cases because I don't initiate the contact to talk with a lot of other musicians.

A wedding, people decide to get married, it comes out of such love for one another and then women can turn into these other people. They're planning something that's the biggest event they'll ever plan in their lives and it turns them into this other person, so it's not totally the guy's fault that he's feeling disconnected from this person.

Climate change is not the fault of man. It's Mother Nature's way. And sucking greenhouse gases from the atmosphere is too limited a solution. We have to be prepared for fire or ice, for fry or freeze. We have to be prepared for change.

There has been the biggest black cloud following me around. People believe it's all my fault that Steve is not here. He has always had an open door, and he doesn't choose to do this any more.

Coach Skiles is tough. He's been my only coach in the NBA, so I'm used to it. His rules are a little different at times. At the end of the day, he just wants you to play hard defense, and you can't fault him for that.

When there's no one you can point to, or when something goes wrong, it's your fault - that level of responsibility and accountability is pretty interesting.

In a funny way, when things went wrong in my life - and it is my fault that they went wrong, it is not anyone else's fault - and all the glittering outside things were taken away, I was left with the things of most value.

But, after all, we are a young nation, and vanity is a fault of youth.

The fact that it wasn't tells me that we've got a much more fundamental problem of understanding what went wrong, and we've got to figure out what was there. And that's what I call fundamental fault analysis.

But he like my mother, had certainly come to know that those who work the most do not make the most money. It was the fault of the rich, it seemed, but just how he did not know.

We'll lose more species of plants and animals between 2000 and 2065 than we've lost in the last 65 million years. If we don't find answers to these problems, we're gonna be victims of this extinction event that we're at fault for.

John Green was on the set of 'The Fault In Our Stars' the entire time, which is amazing! Wouldn't you want John Green on set the entire time?

So far, I've never missed a deadline for a term paper, a review, a manuscript. I perform the mumbo-jumbo of voting with belief in my heart, I've not yet won even a jaywalking ticket, and unlike my father, whom I fault in this respect, I refrain from opting out of jury duty; instead, they mostly kick me out.

The only cure for vanity is laughter, and the only fault that is laughable is vanity.

Honesty allows us to live with not knowing. We do not know the full story; we do not know where we are in the story. We do not know who, ultimately, is at fault or who will carry the blame in the end.

I'm loyal to a fault - even though I've been to hell and back with Vince McMahon, I would never to do anything to hurt him. But it's also survival of the fittest out there.

It is another's fault if he be ungrateful, but it is mine if I do not give. To find one thankful man, I will oblige a great many that are not so.

I think that people who live in cultures without quite so much privilege, opportunity or grandiosity have a little bit more respect for the workings of destiny, and the limitations that people can find themselves in through no fault of their own.

'The Fault in Our Stars' is a beautiful film that's really positive. The second half gets sad, but it's always positive.

To be honest, I haven't seen much serious budget planning since the Republicans took control of the House after the 2010 elections and grabbed onto the Senate filibuster. It's not the White House's fault that John Boehner couldn't deliver on a bigger deal.

Blemishes are hid by night and every fault forgiven; darkness makes any woman fair.

The point here is to move forward, to get the debate moving from fault and blame to solutions.

We started out pretty aggressive, then we just didn't attack enough. Central made some adjustments and started plugging the inside. We got some outside shots (3-for-14 on three-pointers), but they weren't falling. You can't fault our effort.

Where I would fault President Bush the most was that, in the wake of 9/11, he motivated our military, but he didn't call the nation into a state of war. And he didn't explain that this would take though a communal effort against common foe.

We remain fans of the local Las Vegas gaming market, which we believe is the best risk-adjusted market in gaming today, and we can't fault the company for deploying capital in these markets.

We're just waiting for nighttime. It's the terrorists' fault that they are doing this, but now they are taking it out on everyone.

The only way to security for Israel and a humane life for Palestinians in their own land is political. No matter where the fault for past negotiating failures lies, there is no other path.

We've been in close games all year. We lost it for maybe two to four minutes, but it was no fault of our own because they played great.

We've been holding back and I thought maybe our intensity was down a little bit. That's my fault from trying to rest them and everything, but they reacted well. This a great tune-up for state.

We've staved it off for 15 years, but we have to pay the piper -- the time is here. To use money just to keep a dwindling school alive is not wise. I understand that it's difficult, but looking at it overall, it's not the board's fault enrollment in particular schools is going down, and it's not the board's fault that families have to move to Tracy to buy a house.

When the magnet does not attract the needle, the fault lies in the dirt that covers up the needle.

We've never been inside the fault zone before. The goal has been to understand the basic mechanics of faults.

We've never been inside the fault zone before.

So many of our goals were not met, in part because of really expert sabotage by the resistance. But it was also the fault of being overly focused on long-term projects that weren't bringing short-term relief.

She was unbelievable Saturday. She thinks all the goals are her fault but that's not the case. Goals are the team's fault and not the fault of one individual.

She's got the conformation; she's got the pedigree; she's got the class. She's the kind that doesn't come along very often. I can't fault her. At the top end of the business, a horse has to keep climbing the ladder. Ever since the spring, every month, she matured and she headed the right way. They don't all do that.

Since the change you can definitely tell the difference in effort. I don't think that was Steve's fault or anything that he did, but has done a good job pulling it out of us and holding us to a higher level from day to day.

She is intolerable, but that is her only fault

Mike said we will always be the other team. Even though they are a sixth seed, they're the pick over us. We win 11 in a row, and they say it's our fault the other teams weren't as good. We can't worry about it. We just got to go out and play.

No deputy or trooper will fault you for traveling an extra 50 feet to get someplace safe. You don't have to stop on a dime when you see the blue lights behind you. You have to find the safest place you can stop.

Obviously we didn't want to get down that much. But the girls played hard and they came back and made it competitive. You can't fault them for their effort.

My dad was a different bloke to me and not very nice to my mum, although I never judge him. If you did, you'd become one of those people who is all-consumed by a fault in their past. And I haven't got the time for it.

My fault on the first (goal) and then we let another mistake happen and we're down 2-0 and that's exactly what we didn't want to do against these guys because they're a disciplined team, they work hard and they're tough to get chances against.

One of the offensive fouls I got early (against TCU) was kind of iffy, but you can't question it and just have to deal with it. It's been my fault that I've picked up those fouls, and I've let my team down. I have to concentrate and play better defense.

I wouldn't blame or place fault on anyone, having honesty and integrity is everyone's' job.

I wouldn't have done anything different. You can't fault our heart and desire.

If this bill goes down, it will be the fault of my own party, and that's where the blame will lie,

I didn't really know that. Fans really get hold of that type of information when you pass on a guy. Kobe Bryant was the 13th pick, Tracy McGrady was the ninth pick. You never really know until you step on the court, so you really can't fault them.

I don't fault reporters for getting it wrong.

I don't fault past presidents for trying and failing, ... You've got to try.

I don't fault my former law firm for running their business like a business or expecting their new hire to be worth the obscene rate she was billed out at, but fun it was not.

I don't know whose fault that was. But you can't make a mistake like that against this club.

I don't know whether to fault the seamstress or the guy I was playing against.

CAS functioned in the way we have come to expect of them. Once the offense is established, then the onus goes on the athlete to convince the panel that there was no fault or no significant fault. The panel found no significant fault.

But it's the press perception of him we played with, ... Les isn't a sad, lonely man. Through no fault of his own, he became a whipping boy.

But that's the nature of the game. Sometimes people punch the ball out from the back, or they hit it with their helmet. But it's nobody's fault but mine. I've got to hold on to that ball and squeeze it tighter.

Basically, I've been taking possessions off. And that's probably the biggest thing for me. It's nobody's fault but mine. It's just a matter of concentrating. Once I concentrate, I'm probably one of the best defenders in the league.

I have a problem finding any fault with BBC online coverage. I use your site to get a feel for what is going on (both in the US and not ). You coverage is broad (I don't try to read even a small part, but it is there if I need/want it). Wonder if I should give to you for this service. I guess I would, at a low enough level. Something per year ($10 or $15 by card).

I feel very sorry for innocent children who through no fault of their own find themselves undocumented. But not going to college is not a passport to failure. We have to set some rules. We can't educate the whole world.

I can tell in the motion, ... Sometimes you can double fault and miss serve, but hit it really well. I just feel like it's just a rhythm thing. Hopefully, the more I serve and the more I practice it and the more I do it in matches it'll come back. It's one of my biggest weapons. I'm not scared that it's gone away. It just is a matter of me being able to hit it more.

I can't find any fault in our game, I'm just disappointed in the way it ended up.

I can't fault 'Twaan for that. He was trying to make a play. I thought he was going to get out of it and I was going to block, and he ended up pitching to me and I took my eyes off the ball and I wasn't really ready for it. I'm partly to blame. If I catch the ball, we don't turn the ball over and if we don't, we at least get a field goal out of it.

I can't fault the way we played in the second half. We never quit, we kept going at it. You can't ask for anything more.

I can't fault them for picking a defense contractor, given all the public pressure to make the subways more secure.

I can't fault the horse. He's jumping out of his skin.

I can't fault the effort, we just need to start making plays when we need them.

I can't fault our guys and their effort. We were our own worst enemy tonight coming down the stretch.

I can't fault our girls over their effort. It's tough when you're playing (the Hudson twins). Both players are all-around players, and the rest of the team feeds off that.

I can't fault our effort tonight. We live on the edge because of our youth and inexperience and Shelby County exposed that tonight.

I can't fault our effort. Cardington is a good solid team.

I can't fault my players. They worked as hard as always. We created a lot of chances but we missed out on a victory because of the woodwork and goalkeeper Bonano, who did really well,

I can't fault my kids for their effort and their heart. It seemed like we were one little play from finishing it off and we couldn't do it.

I can't fault my defense for that. Campbell just scored on shear strength, size and determination.

I can't fault either one. We're going to have to do a lot to pick up the slack.

I can't fault anything that happened with our kids. They have been warriors and have tried to fight through some things and keep themselves alive for a while. Hopefully, the committee will reward that, and they will get to play another day.

If a square peg doesnt fit a round hole, neither the peg nor the hole is to blame. Between two people, the question "whose fault is it?" is the friend of argumentation and the destroyer of growth-oriented communication. Assigning blame involves listening to criticize and responding to defend, speaking to lower the other person rather than speaking to build each up. Relational progress is impossible as long as blame is the focus because blame and progress are enemies. In our litigation-hungry society we must take care that focusing on fault - which is proper for the courtroom - doesnt carry over into interpersonal relationships. The heart of loving communication is listening to understand.

I fault the industrial revolution with taking people out of their homes to the workplace. Before that, people used to work at home all the time. It's kind of taking a turn now, and people are wanting to come back home. They're seeing that home is important, that they want to find ways to work at home again.
