I want to live my life so that my nights are not full of regrets.

D. H. Lawrence

About This Quote

This quote needs no introduction—at least for now. We're working on adding more context soon.

Interpretation

The line expresses an ethic of living deliberately: to act in ways that will not haunt one in solitude, when distractions fall away. “Nights” suggests the private reckoning of conscience—those hours when memory replays choices and omissions. Read in light of Lawrence’s recurring themes (the demand for authenticity, the refusal of deadening convention, and the cost of self-betrayal), the sentiment urges a life aligned with one’s deepest desires and convictions rather than social expectation. It also implies that regret is not merely about mistakes but about unlived life—hesitation, compromise, and the failure to commit to what feels vital.
