I hate to mention age, but I come from an era when we weren't consumed by technology and television.

Any attempts at autobiography before the age of eighty seem pretty self-involved to me. There are a lot of smart middle aged people but not many wise ones.

There's a vintage which comes with age and experience.

We too are also inspired by the life and example of Jose Marti, who is not only a Cuban and Latin American hero but justly honoured by all who struggle to be free.

As I get older, I get smaller. I see other parts of the world I didn't see before. Other points of view. I see outside myself more.

Whenever I am with energetic young people, I feel like a recharged battery.
