“I've been thinking a lot about my life the last few days,
and I have to say that it doesn't seem to have had much point.
I've done well professionally, and I've had a pretty good time.
Maybe that's all you can reasonably ask.
But tonight I keep thinking about things not done.
Things not attempted because I was afraid of failing.
Things not got around to. Thank God I had the chance
to help Hutch throw her foamball. I hope it gets out.
It's something I'd like to be remembered for.”

The Engines of God, p.271
