When you get to my age life seems little more than one long march to and from the lavatory.

Knowing what you can not do is more important than knowing what you can do. In fact, that's good taste.

Very often a change of self is needed more than a change of scene.

Actually my birthday was really March 13, but when you get to be this age you do what you want to do, ... I've never had such a long birthday.

As I make my slow pilgrimage through the world, a certain sense of beautiful mystery seems to gather and grow.

The worst sorrows in life are not in its losses and misfortunes, but its fears.
