So if hunger provokes wailing and wailing brings the breast; if the breast permits sucking and milk suggests its swallow; if swallowing issues in sleep and stomachy comfort, then need, ache, message, object, act, and satisfaction are soon associated like charms on a chain; shortly our wants begin to envision the things which well reduce them, and the organism is finally said to wish.
William H. Gass

I spent most of my 20s dating older men, and I really wish I had spent that time dating men my own age who were going through the same experiences I was.

And, true, a fling with an older man can be instructive in many ways, and no doubt he finds you attractive.
Emily Yoffe

She was like, 'Oh, you're adopted, but I wish I had pretty brown skin like you.'

P. D. James
-
I wish I'd known from the beginning that I was born a strong woman. What a difference it would have made! I wish I'd known that I was born a courageous woman; I've spent so much of my life cowering. How many conversations would I not only have started but finished if I had known I possessed a warrior's heart? I wish I'd known that I'd be born to take on the world; I wouldn't have run from it for so long, but run to it with open arms.
Sarah Ban Breathnach
