Favorite Quotes: How to have few regrets


"The fact that [Kay] Boyle preferred to live her life rather than examine it, eventually, her biographer says, 'diminished her as an artist' and always 'diminished her as a mother.'  Yet except for her championing of Huey Newton and the Black Panthers, Boyle had few regrets about her decisions.  The writer Grace Paley, who got to know her late in her life, observed that people with full sex lives don't have regrets."

                 
(I don't know where I got this quote.)
