#Regret

"No, I regret nothing, all I regret is having been born, dying is such a long tiresome business I always found."

"When your only regret is if anyone thinks you regret anything - that is the definition of conviction."

"You can't regret the life you didn't lead."

"Never rearrange your life in order to meet Mr. Darcy half way. If he couldn’t see your worth at the moment you met then he won’t two years later. May the halls of Pemberly be filled with his regrets and your life filled with thankfulness because of this revelation."

"I need just be a bayonet, a bayonet named Diving Punishment. I wish I'd been born a storm. Or a menace. Or a single grenade. No heart, no tears, just as a terrible gale'd have been good. If [by doing this] I become that, then so be it."

"Happiness is a strange thing. It is something I tend to recognize only after it has passed, when I realize I miss it."

"I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country."

"Never look back unless you are planning to go that way."

"Droll thing life is -- that mysterious arrangement of merciless logic for a futile purpose. The most you can hope from it is some knowledge of yourself -- that comes too late -- a crop of inextinguishable regrets."

"Poor creatures. What did we do to you? With all our schemes and plans?"

"Everybody was sorry. Sorry was easy. Sorry was for suckers."

"Sister - if all this is true, what could I do or undo?"

"You might be looking for reasons but there are no reasons."

"The advance of regret can be so gradual that it is impossible to say "yesterday I was happy, today I am not."

"Look in my face; my name is Might-have-been; I am also call'd No-more, Too-late, Farewell"

"Oh no,"I said, because if our life is just one endless song about hope and regret, then "oh no"is apparently that song's chorus, the words we always return to."

"Sometimes I wish life was written pencil so we could erase it and write it all over again."

"The only calibration that counts is how much heart people invest, how much they ignore their fears of being hurt or caught out or humiliated. And the only thing people regret is that they didn't live boldly enough, that they didn't invest enough heart, didn't love enough. Nothing else really counts at all."

"Looking back, I have this to regret, that too often when I loved, I did not say so."

"I wouldn't have missed a single minute of it, Not for the whole world."
