People have quite a simple idea about 'Anna Karenina.' They feel that the novel is entirely about a young married woman who falls in love with a cavalry officer and leaves her husband after much agony, and pays the price for that.Tom Stoppard
Vocations which we wanted to pursue, but didn't, bleed, like colors, on the whole of our existence.Honoré de Balzac
To all those who have suffered as a consequence of our troubled past I extend my sincere thoughts and deep sympathy. With the benefit of historical hindsight we can all see things which we would wish had been done differently or not at all.Elizabeth II
One of my great laments is that education today seems to have... be less about passion and more about process, more about tactic or technique.Neil deGrasse Tyson
One of my big regrets is that Facebook hasn't had a major chance to shape the mobile operating system ecosystem.Mark Zuckerberg
When I was in college I did a lot of stupid things and I don't want to make an excuse for that. Some of the things that people accuse me of are true, some of them aren't. There are pranks, IMs.Mark Zuckerberg

Things go bad after a divorce and often stay that way. It is rare for the parties to return placidly to a time before they met. A bitterness lingers on. Those who call this our Independence Day, fantasising of returning to a never-never time before they married, when they were free, easy, single, and master of their fate, are delusional.Howard Jacobson
