Hindsight Quotes

Hindsight, I think, is a useless tool. We, each of us, are at a place in our lives because of innumerable circumstances, and we, each of us, have a responsibility (if we do not like where we are) to move along life's road, to find a better path if this one does not suit, or to walk happily along this one if it is indeed our life's way. Changing even the bad things that have gone before would fundamentally change who we are, and whether or not that would be a good thing, I believe, it is... R. A. Salvatore
Billy Wilder quote: "Hindsight is always twenty-twenty."
Hindsight is always twenty-twenty. Billy Wilder
David Beckham quote: "Hindsight is a wonderful thing."
Hindsight is a wonderful thing. David Beckham
Helen Reddy quote: "Hindsight is wonderful. It's always very easy to second guess..."
Hindsight is wonderful. It's always very easy to second guess after the fact. Helen Reddy
...but hindsight and I have had lots of conversations about what happened..., most of which ends with me saying to hindsight, "Thanks for all the information, but you're a little late. Tori Spelling
It's the arrangement of events which makes the stories. It's throwing away, compressing, underlining. Hindsight can give structure to anything, but you have to be able to see it. Breathing, waking and sleeping: our lives are steamed and shaped into stories. Knowing that is what keeps me from going insane, and though I don't like to admit it, sometimes it's the only thing. Carol Shields
Ultimately, we are all products of the experiences we have and the decisions we make as children, and it remains a peculiar detail of human condition that something as precious as the future is entrusted to us when we possess so little foresight. Perhaps that's what makes hindsight so intriguing. When you're young the future is a blank canvas, but looking back you are always able to see the big picture. Simon Pegg
Those who made the decisions with imperfect knowledge will be judged in hindsight by those with considerably more information at their disposal and time for reflection. Donald Rumsfeld
When Em and I got back together, I could see that she had never been less than what I'd figured her to be. If anything, she was always better than I remebered. And that what I think love is [...] When your hindsights twenty-twenty, and you still wouldnt change a thing. Jodi Picoult
My hindsight seemed unbearably clear tonight. I could see every mistake I'd made, every bit of harm I'd done, the small things and the big things. Stephenie Meyer
The bilateral illusion of unilateral attention was almost infantilely gratifying from an emotional standpoint: you got to believe you were receiving somebody's complete attention without having to return it. Regarded with the objectivity of hindsight, the illusion appears arational, almost literally fantastic: it would be like being able to both lie and to trust other people at the same time. David Foster Wallace
But then, I suppose, when with the benefit of hindsight one begins to search one's past for such 'turning points', one is apt to start seeing them everywhere. Kazuo Ishiguro
Jodi Picoult quote: "You know how hind-sight is 20/20? Love is when you look back..."
You know how hind-sight is 20/20? Love is when you look back and wouldn't change anything. Jodi Picoult
Jodi Picoult quote: "That's what love is, when your hindsight is 20/20, and you..."
That's what love is, when your hindsight is 20/20, and you still wouldn't change a thing. Jodi Picoult
It is only now, these years later, that Rahel with adult hindsight recognized the sweetness of that gesture. A grown man entertaining three raccoons, treating them like real ladies. Instinctively colluding in the conspiracy of their fiction, taking care not to decimate it with adult carelessness. Or affection. It is after all so easy to shatter a story. To break a chain of thought. To ruin a fragment of a dream being carried around carefully like a piece of porcelain. To let it be, to... Arundhati Roy
