"Regret for the things we did can be……" — Dorian Cox
"Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable. As I grow older , I regret to say that a detestable habit of thinking seems to be getting a hold of me Nowadays most people die of a sort of creeping common sense, and discover when it is too late that the only things one never regrets are one's mistakes. and thereof do I repent: That if I wasn't me, if I was something else, some people on the earth would have a better life Hugely better life, so I sit, waiting for death to knock at my door and tell me its time but I do know I must fight, must continue on this voyage, until my Days come to a close."
