I'd Rather Be A Could-Be

"I'd rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are; because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star. I'd rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far; for a might have-been has never been, but a has was once an are." Milton Berle

「曾經有」和「發生過」，可能比「從來沒有發生」來得痛，但來得好。
