In one of his plays, Alexander Solzhenitsyn depicts a man dying, who says to those gathered around his bed, "The moment when it's terrible to feel regret is when one is dying."
Vienā savā lugā Aleksandrs Solžeņicins attēlo mirstošu cilvēku, kurš palicējiem saka: „Visbriesmīgāk ir just nožēlu, kad esi uz nāves gultas.”
