“Old folks live on memory, young folk live on hope.”
“As the flowers are all made sweeterby the sunshine and the dew,So this old world is made brighterby the lives of folks like you.”
“You young people never say anything. And us old folks don't know how to stop talking.”
“Which is crueler, an old man's lost memories of a life lived, or a young man's lost memories of the life he meant to live?”
“It is the triumph of superior reason to live with folks who don't have any.”
“We set off towards the square, where a knot of old folks hovered around the local pigeon community, their lives reduced to a ritual of spreading crumbs and waiting.”
