Coincidentally, I found this passage in the book (Deepsix by Jack McDevitt) I am reading last night:
"Now that she faced possible termination, her life seemed curiously incomplete. She'd heard somewhere that, when death was near, one's regrets were not for one's actions, the assorted small and petty acts, the occasional immoralities, even the periodic cruelties visited on others. But rather one regretted things
notdone, adventures not undertaken, experiences left untasted, whether through some false code of morality or, more likely, shyness or fear of failure.
She smiled to herself. MacAllister had said somewhere,
through fear of getting caught."
