The greatest writers of this age... are aware of the mystery of our existence.

I'd like to look like Madonna when I'm her age. I also look at athletes and love their bodies. I've always wanted to be muscly not skinny. A lot of women yo-yo around but I'm always aware if I'm getting a bit out of shape. I never look at the scales but I can just tell. It goes on my tum and bum.

Situational unawareness in the private marketplace or on the battlefield will cost you your livelihood or your life. In the Age of Obama however such willful ignorance is a job prerequisite. The less you know the better.

It's ironic that at age 32 at probably the greatest moment of my career with The Godfather having such an enormous success I wasn't even aware of it because I was somewhere else under the deadline again.

The nearer people approach old age the closer they return to a semblance of childhood until the time comes for them to depart this life again like children neither tired of living nor aware of death.

There is always some specific moment when we become aware that our youth is gone but years after we know it was much later.
