Childhood itself is scarcely more lovely than a cheerful kindly sunshiny old age.
I am 54 and age is slowly writing itself on my face.
People quit on jobs. They quit on marriages. They quit on school. There's an immediacy of this day and age that doesn't lend itself to being committed to anything.
I am rediscovering the whole sexual dimension of life at the age of 86 really. And that also means discovering the feminine. So the whole of this dimension which I had been seeking for a very long time is now sort of opening itself up to me.
To be free in an age like ours one must be in a position of authority. That in itself would be enough to make me ambitious.
A bad manner spoils everything even reason and justice a good one supplies everything gilds a No sweetens a truth and adds a touch of beauty to old age itself.
Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself.
For age is opportunity no less Than youth itself though in another dress And as the evening twilight fades away The sky is filled with stars invisible by day.
In our age there is no such thing as 'keeping out of politics.' All issues are political issues and politics itself is a mass of lies evasions folly hatred and schizophrenia.
