An only child is never twelve.

There may be wonder in money, but, dear God, there is money in wonder.

You will be old-fashioned one day. It's more shocking than getting old.

One never knows when one is old for certain.

As for death, one gets used to it, even if it is only other people is death you get used to.

From birth to death we are alone.

if death becomes cheap it is the watcher, not the dying, who is poisoned.
