Mr. Vey, you cannot be stuffed into a locker without your consent." Dallstrom said, which may be the dumbest thing ever said in a school. "You should have resisted. That's like blaming someone who was struck by lightning for getting in the way.

About This Quote

The above quote comes from the movie "Wedding Crashers." In this scene, Vince Vaughn's character is explaining that the girl he just slept with had every right to be upset because he had no idea she was coming to his wedding. However, given the chance to go back in time and not sleep with her, he would have said no. This is a very good point. As much as we may want to blame someone else for our actions or mistakes, we are solely responsible for the decisions we make. While there are some things beyond our control, most of it can be handled by following best practices and taking responsibility for what you do.
