This post is from the movie "Midnight in Paris", naturally one of my favorites.  The actor playing Hemingway says to Gil', "Vicente lost his hand from a grenade and he was young and brave and the hill was soggy from days of rain and it slopped down toward a road and there were many German soldiers on the road and the idea was to aim for the first group and if our aim was true, we could delay them.  Are you afraid of dying Gil (yes, my greatest fear).  Well, it's something all men before you have done and all men will do."  Homage from Woody Allen 

"Other intrinsic things have lasted over the years as well. Love, honor, loyalty, friendship, good manners, good times. They're sometimes harder to come by but more treasured once they're found."

My experience from my 50th High School Reunion is a metaphor of life:  I want to do it all over again.  Do it differently.  Live life more intensely.  Let caution to the wind. Live life fully. No regrets. Alas, there is the rub. . . there will always  be regrets, because you can only "take one path at a time."
