You can't be human alone.

There must be a goal at every stage of life! There must be a goal!

There are six myths about old age: 1. That it's a disease, a disaster. 2. That we are mindless. 3. That we are sexless. 4. That we are useless. 5. That we are powerless. 6. That we are all alike.

You can't be human alone.

People who have had power, when they become powerless, are really tragic.... We just allow ourselves to be conditioned by a society so we become as important as we're supposed to be.

The ultimate indignity is to be given a bedpan by a stranger who calls you by your first name.

Power should not be concentrated in the hands of so few, and powerlessness in the hands of so many.
