Time collapses and expands like an erratic accordion.

I’ll never retire as long as I live—that’s like retiring from life! I’ll never stop writing, teaching, lecturing. If you’re in good health, living is exciting on its own.

I so enjoy being old because for the first time I don't have to do anything-work, teach, study. I feel very good about myself-and at my age I can say no to anything now if I don't want to do it. What a liberating word.

I like the word OLD. Not senior, that's for proms. Older? Older than whom? 'Old' is honorable and ripe

Education can't make us all leaders, but it can teach us which leader to follow.

When giving comes directly from the heart, it can never disappoint or embarrass.

I want to point the way to something that should forever lure them, when the TV set is broken and the movie is over and the school bell has rung for the last time.
