Regretful Quotes (page 27)

I find C major to be the key of strength, but also the key of regret. E major is the key of confidence. A-flat major is the key of renunciation. Bob Dylan
I regret nothing. There have been things I missed, but I ask no questions, because I have loved it, such as it has been, even the moments of emptiness, even the unanswered-and that I loved it, that is the unanswered in my life. Ayn Rand
Edith Wharton quote: "He had to deal all at once with the packed regrets and stifled..."
He had to deal all at once with the packed regrets and stifled dreams of an inarticulate lifetime. Edith Wharton
Unfortunately, the clock is ticking, the hours are going by. The past increases, the future recedes. Possibilities decreasing, regrets mounting. Haruki Murakami
There are, after all, atheists who say they wish the fable were true but are unable to suspend the requisite disbelief, or who have relinquished belief only with regret. To this I reply: who wishes that there was a permanent, unalterable celestial despotism that subjected us to continual surveillance and could convict us of thought-crime, and who regarded us as its private property even after we died? How happy we ought to be, at the reflection that there exists not a shred of respectable... Christopher Hitchens
Mitch Albom quote: "Sacrifice is a part of life. It's supposed to be. It's not..."
Sacrifice is a part of life. It's supposed to be. It's not something to regret. It's something to aspire to. Mitch Albom
I’ve always known that there’s more going on inside me than finds its way into the world, but this is probably true of everyone. Who doesn’t regret that he isn’t more fully understood? Richard Russo
I must be without remorse or regrets as I am without excuse; for from the instant of my upsurge into being, I carry the weight of the world by myself alone without anything or any person being able to lighten it. Jean-Paul Sartre
You have put your two hands upon me, and your mouth, You have said my name as a prayer. Here where trees are planted by water. I have watched your eyes, cleansed from regret, And your lips, closed over all that love cannot say. Louise Bogan
Nicholas Sparks quote: "When a person sets a thing in motion, there's a feeling of..."
When a person sets a thing in motion, there's a feeling of unease, almost regret, until you learn the truth. Nicholas Sparks
Sometimes during the night, your father awakened. He rose from his bed, staggered across the room, and found the strength to raise the window sash. He called your mother's name with what little voice he had, and he called yours, too, and your brother, Joe. And he called for Mickey. At that moment, it seemed, his heart was spilling out, all the guilt and regret. Perhaps he felt the light of death approaching. Perhaps he only knew you were all out there somewhere, in the streets beneath his... Mitch Albom
She shook her head from side to side, resigned to her rebellious brain. Why was there nothing it refused? No misery, no regret, no hateful picture too rotten to accept? Like a greedy child it snatched up everything. Just once, could it say, No thank you? I just ate and can't hold another bite? I am full Toni Morrison
I must be without remorse or regrets as I am without excuse; for from the instant of my upsurge into being, I carry the weight of the world by myself alone without help, engaged in a world for which I bear the whole responsibility without being able, whatever I do, to tear myself away from this responsibility for an instant. Jean-Paul Sartre
Emotions, in my experience, aren't covered by single words. I don't believe in "sadness", "joy", or "regret". Maybe the best proof that the language is patriarchal is that is oversimplifies feeling. I'd like to have at my disposal complicated hybrid emotions. Jeffrey Eugenides
I wandered aimlessly through this muddy lane bespattered with blood, fragments of the past detached themselves and floated listlessly before my eyes, taunting me with the direst forebodings [...] My world of human beings had perished; I was utterly alone in the world and for friends I had the streets, and the streets spoke to me in that sad, bitter language compounded of human misery, yearning, regret, failure, wasted effort Henry Miller
