“Life versus Death becomes, as Montaigne pointed out, Old Age versus Death. ”

“For Montaigne, the death of youth, which so often takes place unnoticed is the harder death; what we habitually refer to as 'death' is no more than the death of old age...The leap from the attenuated survival of senescence into nonexistence is much easier than the sly transition from heedless youth crabbed and regretful age.”

“Remember that life is a lot like medicine: at the end of the day, everything is a matter of risk versus benefit, pro versus con.”

“It was about a girl who helps an ugly old woman who turns out to be a good fairy in disguise. Inner values versus shallow appearances.”

“Just remember, the difference between being good versus being great is just a few points, inches, or seconds.”

“I caught a glimpse of him thinking of the final combat in the movies, Harry versus Voldemort, Spider-Man versus the Green Goblin.”
