He allowed himself the vague wish that things had turned out differently, without blaming himself that they hadn't, any more than he'd blamed himself when his 1-2-3 triple never ran like it should at least once. It didn't pay to second-guess every one of life's decisions, to pretend to wisdom about the past from the safety of the present, the way so many people did when they got older.”

“-Zamanaşımına uğrayarak hiçbir anlamı kalmamış eski kağıtlara, mektuplara ve yazılara dalmak kadar insanı çökerten bir başka şeyin var olabileceğini düşünemiyorum.
