True remorse is never just a regret over consequence; it is a regret over motive.
Mignon McLaughlin
He will drool the drool of regret into the pillow of remorse.
Keith Olbermann
Is there not a sort of remorse that precedes sin? Was it remorse at the very fact that I existed?
Yukio Mishima
In 1736 I lost one of my Sons, a fine Boy of 4 Years old, by the Smallpox taken in the common way. I long regretted bitterly and still regret that I had not given it to him by Inoculation. This I mention for the Sake of Parents who omit that Operation on the Supposition that they should never forgive themselves if a Child died under it; my Example showing that the Regret may be the same either way, and that therefore the safer should be chosen. [Part III, p. 83]
Benjamin Franklin
So when you say it's gonna happen now.
Well when exactly do you mean?
See I've already waited too long.
And all my hope is gone!Morrissey
