We suddenly feel fearful and apprehensive, naked in our perishable flesh, and for just a moment we wish we could go back to being stone–crumbling in death rather than rotting, trapped inside an immobile prison of stone rather than reduced to immaterial souls like those that now rattled within our skulls. The moment passes. There is no point in regretting irreversible decisions–one has to live with them, and we try. Ekaterina Sedia
About This Quote

A momentary feeling of regret is not the same as regret. Regret is what you feel when you mess up or do something wrong. Either way, it is a feeling that will pass once you realize that it wasn’t the right thing to do. It may even be something you wouldn’t have done under normal circumstances.

But, no matter how hard you try, you can never go back to being stone. You can’t go back to being stone because once you stop living, you are no longer stone. You are only a thought in someone else’s head that is still lingering behind in the mind.

You are still trapped in an immobile prison of stone.
