Marry, and you will regret it; do not mary, and you will also regret it...whether you laugh at the stupidities of the world or you weep over them, you will regret it either way...trust a girl and you will regret it; do not trust her and you will also regret it...hang yourself or do not hang yourself and you will regret it either way.

Kierkegaard, preface to Either/Or, which ends with "Read them or do not read them, you will regret it either way."
