Nobody stays special when they're old, Anna. That's what we have to learn.
About loving, I have little to learn from the young.
For to be desperate is to discover strength. / We die of comfort and by conflict live.
For inside all the weakness of old age, the spirit, God knows, is as mercurial as it ever was.
when I am working I immediately feel hopeful.
Growing old is, of all things we experience, that which takes the most courage, and at a time when we have the least resources, especially with which to meet frustration.
