About This Quote
Charles Bukowski said, “Nowadays most people die of a sort of creeping common sense, and discover when it is too late that the only things one never regrets are one's mistakes.” When people make mistakes they can always take them back. However, they cannot take back what they have done with their lives. They cannot undo the damage they have caused to others, nor can they take back the pain they have caused themselves. They can only learn from their mistakes and regret it deeply.
