"There is no man, however wise, who has not at some point in his youth said things, or lived a life, the memory of which is so unpleasant to him that he would gladly expunge it. And yet he ought not entirely regret it, because he cannot be certain that he has indeed become a wise man." - Marcel Proust, In Search of Lost Time
"A woman must live her life, or regret having not lived it" - D.H. Lawrence, Lady Chatterley's Lover.
