Aging is not "lost youth" but a new stage of opportunity and strength.

You can have it all, just not all at the same time.

Men, also, have in them enormous capacities that they have to repress and fear in themselves, living up to this obsolete and brutal man-eating, bear-killing, Ernest Hemingway, crewcut Prussian sadistic, napalm all the children in Vietnam, bang-bang you're dead, image of masculinity, the image of all powerful masculine superiority that is absolute.

Who knows what women can be when they are finally free to become themselves? Who knows what women's intelligence will contribute when it can be nourished without denying love?

Getting older is an adventure, not a problem.

I have discovered that there is a crucial difference between society's image of old people and 'us' as we know and feel ourselves to be.
