« The Old Vic is a beautiful intimate venue though | Main | Portogallo »

People who are about to die generally don't regret the parachute jumps they haven't made (unless they're falling from an aircraft without one). Instead, they regret the love they haven't given or haven't expressed. Generally, the reason they haven't done this is because they've been too full of hate, too in love with themselves or simply too crushed by the business of survival.

(I wanted to save this not only because it strikes me as very wise in a pragmatic way but also because it will be a more articulate and compelling reply to anyone who invites me out for an adventure activity than my usual "Not in a million years, are you out of your mind?")
