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.

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.

I don't think enjoying life is an exclusive prerogative of young people.

I've arrived at the age where a platonic friendship can be sustained on the highest moral plane.

I am glad I made the late race. It gave me a hearing on the great and durable question of the age, which I could have had in no other way.
