“Discern of the coming on of years, and think not to do the same things still; for age will not be defied.”

“It's remarkable how we go on year after year, doing the same old things. We get tired and bored, and ask when they'll come for us”

“You can’t help wondering if this is the year that you’d be getting a good story again. It was the same thing you wondered last year, and the year before that, and the year before that. In light of everything and in spite of everything, it seems foolish to expect and demand for anything. It seems foolish to even hope. Yet, you still do.”

“We were still at the age when girls are years older than guy, and the guys grow up by doing their best when the girls need them to.”

“... all good things beyond sleep come precisely because we defy gravity while we live.”
