I'd like to be an old man to really know. I wonder if you keep on learning or if there is only a certain amount each man can understand. I thought I knew so many things that I know nothing of. I wish there was more time. Ernest Hemingway
There are a lot of things I wish I would have done, instead of just sitting around and complaining about having a boring life. Kurt Cobain

George Eliot
