My guilt is an ocean for me to drown in.

The past could always be annihilated. Regret, denial, or forgetfulness could do that. But the future was inevitable.

The only victories which leave no regret are those which are gained over ignorance.

The only thing I regret is that I won't be able to read all the books I would like to read.

Ah, it's my longing for whom I might have been that distracts and torments me!
