Age is not a particularly interesting
subject. Anyone can get old. All
you have to do is live long enough.
The great secret that all old people
share is that you really haven't changed
in seventy or eighty years. Your
body changes, but you don't change
at all. And that, of course,
causes great confusion.
Old age is an excellent time
for outrage. My goal is to
say or do at least one
outrageous thing every week.
At last now you can be what the
old cannot recall and the young
long for in dreams,
yet still include them all.

You're only young once, but
you can be immature forever.
Age does not make us childish, as
some say; it finds us true children.
If wrinkles must be written upon
our brows, let them not be written
upon the heart.

Those who love deeply never grow old;
they may die of old age, but they die young.
One of the many things nobody ever
tells you about middle age is that it's
such a nice change from being young.
