Book cover for Other Birds
Once you accumulate enough regrets in life, they cease to hurt you. They are simply one more thing you collect, like age spots or ugly figurines. You barely even see them anymore.

David  Mitchell
“The most humiliating thing you can do to a man is to save his life.”
David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas

Victor Hugo
“It is nothing to die. It is frightful not to live.”
Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

Julia Scheeres
“Life may not be fair, but when you have someone to believe in, life can be managed, and sometimes, even miraculous.”
Julia Scheeres, Jesus Land

Kahlil Gibran
“Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.”
Khalil Gibran, The Prophet

Jacqueline Susann
“Love shouldn't make a beggar of one. I wouldn't want love if I had to beg for it, to barter or qualify it. And I should despise it if anyone ever begged for my love. Love is something that must be given -- it can't be bought with words or pity, or even reason.”
Jacqueline Susann, Valley of the Dolls
