"You're never too old to become younger."

"Old age, calm, expanded, broad with the haughty breadth of the universe, old age flowing free with the delicious near-by freedom of death."

"People who say you're just as old as you feel are all wrong, fortunately."

"It is a sadness of growing older that we lose our ardent appreciation of what is new and different and difficult."

"It is kind of strange watching your personal history become costume."

"Wisdom doesn't automatically come with old age. Nothing does - except wrinkles. It's true, some wines improve with age. But only if the grapes were good in the first place."
