“Embrace aging.”

“When we are most alone is when we embrace another's loneliness.”

“Not aging is not the same as living”

“I am every age, up to my own.”

“One afternoon, I am complaining about the confusion of my age, what is expected of me versus what I want for myself.”

“You have to find what’s good and true and beautiful in your life as it is now. Looking back makes you competitive. And, age is not a competitive issue.”

“The truth is, part of me is every age. I’m a three-year-old, I’m a five-year-old, I’m a thirty-seven-year-old, I’m a fifty-year-old. I’ve been through all of them, and I know what it’s like. I delight in being a child when it’s appropriate to be a child. I delight in being a wise old man when it’s appropriate to be a wise old man. Think of all I can be! I am every age, up to my own.”
