“The idea of money is older than the idea of counterfeit money, but older, perhaps, by no more than a few minutes.”
“I’ll never be as old as someone older than me, but I can be older than them if I outlive their lifespan.”
“Sometimes I forget that the world is not on the same schedule as I. That everything is not dying, or that if it is dying it will return to life, what with a little sun and the usual encouragement. Sometimes I think: I am older than this tree, older than this bench, older than the rain. And yet. I'm not older than the rain. It's been falling for years and after I go it will keep on falling.”
“Older than sin and twice as mean”
“I am older than your age and younger than your body.”
