Might Have Been Quotes

All one’s work might have been better done; but this is a sort of reflection a worker must put aside courageously if he doesn’t mean every one of his conceptions to remain forever a private vision, an evanescent reverie Picture Quote #1

I might have been able to make it as a pitcher except for one thing: I had a rather awkward motion and every time I brought my left arm forward I hit myself in the ear Picture Quote #1

The dream might have been more than a dream. It was as if a door in the wall of reality had come ajar... and now all sorts of unwelcome things were flying through Picture Quote #1

There is more blood than paint upon these hands. All those thousands of men killed. We thought it would be a little job, and so it might have been if it had begun in the right way Picture Quote #1

If I’d had a great level of success early on, who knows how I would have responded. I might have been a complete jerk Picture Quote #1

What is saved in the cinema when it achieves art is a spontaneous continuity with all mankind. It is not an art of the princes or the bourgeoisie. It is popular and vagrant. In the sky of the cinema people learn what they might have been and discover what belongs to them apart from their single lives Picture Quote #1

One of the greatest features of science is that it doesn’t matter where you were born, and it doesn’t matter what the belief systems of your parents might have been: If you perform the same experiment that someone else did, at a different time and place, you’ll get the same result Picture Quote #1

We yearn for tomorrow and the progress that it represents. But yesterday was once tomorrow, and where was progress in it? Or we yearn for yesterday, for what was or what might have been. But as we are yearning, the present is becoming the past, so the past is nothing but our yearning for second chances Picture Quote #1

All at once we were madly, clumsily, shamelessly, agonizingly in love with each other; hopelessly, I should add, because that frenzy of mutual possession might have been assuaged only by our actually imbibing and assimilating every particle of each other’s soul and flesh; but there we were, unable even to mate as slum children would have so easily found an opportunity to do so Picture Quote #1

Oncoming death is terrible enough, but worse still is oncoming death with time to spare, time in which all the happiness that was yours and all the happiness that might have been yours becomes clear to you. You see with utter lucidity all that you are losing Picture Quote #1

If you simply ignored the feeling, you would never know what might happen, and in many ways that was worse than finding out in the first place. Because if you were wrong, you could go forward in your life without ever looking back over your shoulder and wondering what might have been Picture Quote #1

You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole Picture Quote #1

Silence. How long it lasted, I couldn’t tell. It might have been five seconds, it might have been a minute. Time wasn’t fixed. It wavered, stretched, shrank. Or was it me that wavered, stretched, and shrank in the silence? I was warped in the folds of time, like a reflection in a fun house mirror Picture Quote #1

It’s not about being upset about the things you might have said or done yesterday, which is quite appropriate at the moment. It’s about looking forward rather than looking back. I hate people who look back on the past or talk about what might have been Picture Quote #1

This attempt to isolate cell constituents might have been a failure if they had been destroyed by the relative brutality of the technique employed. But this did not happen Picture Quote #1

I had to know if I could make it somewhere else. I did not want to go through the rest of my life wondering what might have been without putting myself to the test Picture Quote #1

I’ve never been in a bad play. There might have been bad productions and I might have been bad in them, but I’ve never been in a play that wasn’t interesting or worthwhile doing on some level Picture Quote #1

The notion that I might have been able to court friends, win attention, conjure it, would have spoiled it for me. Unbidden love was what I wanted Picture Quote #1

If we could have somehow stayed away from the public and the press, it might have been different, but every private issue seemed to be played out on the front page Picture Quote #1

When he loved his bride it was not a queen he loved, but rather the girl as she might have been if she had not been destroyed in her childhood Picture Quote #1

Life is too short, time is too precious, and the stakes are too high to dwell on what might have been. We have to work together for what still can be Picture Quote #1

Suddenly he was weeping. The tears were for the good things that had been or might have been, for the bad things that had been but should not have been Picture Quote #1

So I close in saying that I might have been given a bad break, but I’ve got an awful lot to live for Picture Quote #1

The errors of young men are the ruin of business, but the errors of aged men amount to this, that more might have been done, or sooner Picture Quote #1

O lost days of delight, that are wasted in doubting and waiting! O lost hours and days in which we might have been happy! Picture Quote #1

If of all words of tongue and pen, the saddest are, it might have been, more sad are those we daily see, it is, but it hadn’t ought to be Picture Quote #1

The things that have been and shall be no more, the things that are, and that hereafter shall be, the things that might have been, and yet were not, the fading twilight of joys departed Picture Quote #1

I like to come up with lots of different sounds. So the final version of a song might have been 10 completely different songs before we finally got it right Picture Quote #1

But in another world, another life, probably growing up in another country, I might have been more of a dancer Picture Quote #1

But lost chances are as much a part of life as chances taken, and a story cannot dwell on what might have been Picture Quote #1
