“It does little good to regret a choice. So often people say, “If only I had known,” implying they would’ve acted differently in a given situation.

And if the chance were allowed to slip by, would the fool regret his lack of action? ”
― K. Ritz, Sheever's Journal, Diary of a Poison Master

― Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

“I chase the wind and get lost in the clouds. I'm sweep into darkness in my search for the light.”
