“What you learn as you get older is that the world is old, and has been old for a long time.”
“The tragedy of being old is you can no longer apply what has taken you so long to learn.”
“This was what happened after you'd been together with someone a long time. You loved that it was old and worn and comfy, but sometimes it was old and worn and comfy.”
“You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old.”
“Are you OLD?""No. I'm only twelve. But I've been that for a long time.”
“Okay, you’re older. Not much, really. And considering you love staying in shape and I refuse to run, we’ll probably get all old and crippled at the same time. If not, then I’ll learn to use a cane, and I’ll get to beat on your ass for a change.”
