“When I was young, I was older than I am today.”
“But I am old now; my life is older. When I made the choice I made, I did not think it was forever. It is another thing to give up so young.”
“I’m older today than yesterday, and therefore I must be more mature.”
“When I look back, I am so impressed again with the life-giving power of literature. If I were a young person today, trying to gain a sense of myself in the world, I would do that again by reading, just as I did when I was young.”
“When I was young, I loved summer and hated winter. When I got older I loved winter and hated summer. Now that I’m even older, and wiser, I hate both summer and winter.”
“When I was young, I used to admire intelligent people; as I grow older, I admire kind people.”
