Take Jonathan Franzen's work: it's just old wine in new bottles. They say he's the Tolstoy of the digital age, but there can only be a Tolstoy of the Tolstoyan age.

Age appears to be best in four things; old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.

I love everything that's old, - old friends, old times, old manners, old books, old wine.

Old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.

I'm like old wine. They don't bring me out very often - but I'm well preserved.

I would think so. Like a fine wine, you get better with age. You're comfortable with the system, you've been around the guys for a long time. I worked real hard this off-season. I was really kind of getting back to working on my release and my feet. I felt good early in camp and I continued throughout.
