Might Have Been Quotes

It’s defeatist to harp on what might have been, and yet, it’s hard to resist considering what might have been Picture Quote #1

... the air so still it aches like the place where the tooth was on the morning after you’ve been to the dentist or aches like your heart in the bosom when you stand on the street corner waiting for the light to change and happen to recollect how things once were and how they might have been yet if what happened had not happened Picture Quote #1

You can’t dwell on what might have been... and it’s not fair to condemn him for something he hasn’t done Picture Quote #1

Beneath the violet pillar, in the vacuum before the roar of the cloud, there came a soft sound that might have been heard by those who listened closely: the gentle sigh of an idea unbound Picture Quote #1

He had been alone in the world and empty for so long. But she filled him full, and so he believed everything that had been taken out of him might have been for a purpose. To clear space for something better Picture Quote #1

As one gets older being sad and miserable can become a bit of a habit. To counteract this, she suggests making a point of savoring such things as the tastiness of a piece of fruit, or other small things we might have been prone to overlook during our younger, busier days Picture Quote #1

You must never regret what might have been. The past that did not happen is as hidden from us as the future we cannot see Picture Quote #1

There are people who have an image of me as being rude and inconsiderate. But I’m completely the opposite, because I was raised not to be. I might have been tripping over myself drunk, but I was always courteous Picture Quote #1

When a dream takes hold of you, what can you do? You can run with it, let it run your life, or let it go and think for the rest of your life about what might have been Picture Quote #1

I might have been through some changes, but changing the way I look wasn’t one of the major ones. To be honest. I’m sick of the whole subject of my hair. I mean, are you just sitting there looking at my hair, or are you looking at me? Picture Quote #1

The point is that something I thought was perfect has been broken, and I’m having to find the beauty in what is there instead of what I thought was there. Like this shell. I can either spend all my time wishing it were perfect, trying to imagine it the way it was or might have been, or I can see how beautiful it is just like this Picture Quote #1

There are people we meet in life who miss being important to us by inches, days, or heartbeats. Another place or time or a different emotional frame of mind and we would willingly fall into their arms; gladly take up their challenge or invitation. But as it is, we encounter them when we are discontent or content and they are not. Whatever they are, we are not and vice versa. Two trains going in different directions that pass for a few powerful moments at full speed, blasting noise and wind but then they are gone. Whatever serious chemistry might have been possible if, isn’t Picture Quote #1

Your function as a critic is to show that it is really you yourself who should have written the book, if you had had the time, and since you hadn’t you are glad that someone else had, although obviously it might have been done better Picture Quote #1

The key to the match might have been his serving. Maybe I should have concentrated harder on watching them go by me, I don’t know Picture Quote #1

In all troublous events we may find comfort, though it be only in the negative admission that things might have been worse Picture Quote #1

Our suffering is caused by holding on to how things might have been, should have been, could have been Picture Quote #1

If I had been a winger, I might have been daydreaming and thinking about how to keep my kit clean for next week Picture Quote #1

I can be happy with who I am, not what I should be, or what I might have been, or what someone tells me I must be Picture Quote #1

There is a wealth of unexpressed love in the world. It is one of the chief causes of sorrow evoked by death: what might have been said or might have been done that never can be said or done Picture Quote #1

If I wanted to make a quick buck, there’s far easier ways of doing it. What I want is to provoke people. If you want a hit song, all you need to do is rewrite an old song. It might have been proven to work, but you won’t be remembered the same way Picture Quote #1

I was a protestor. I was such a protestor that I regularly protested things that might have been good for me Picture Quote #1

There’s always something in the game you wish you would have done different. That’s why players improve, because they learn from what they did before. They might have been guessing before, but now they know Picture Quote #1

There is no privilege in restriction. In other words, I disagree with people who say restriction makes you more creative. I think that’s a misleading slogan. I might have been more creative without them than with them Picture Quote #1

I might have been born into a very literal sense of chaos, but in fact that state is true of all of us Picture Quote #1

You do what you do and you pay for your sins and there’s no such thing as what might have been Picture Quote #1

The world is cluttered up with unfinished business in the form of projects that might have been successful, if only at the tide point someone’s patience had turned to active impatience Picture Quote #1

There’s got to be a point where we fix the system so that legal immigration is easier than illegal immigration and show respect for people, a kid who might have been here for 10 years, that might be a valedictorian of their high school to say, no, no, no you’re not allowed to go to college. I just think there’s a point past which we are over the line Picture Quote #1

I’ve hung around in absolute exhaustion and starvation waiting for an idea to hit, which might have been months. I’ve talked things over with editors, found out what they wanted, and when they wanted it delivered Picture Quote #1

I can’t believe that we would lie in our graves wondering if we had spent our living days well. I can’t believe that we would lie in our graves dreaming of things that we might have been Picture Quote #1
