Quotes About Afterwards

Nothing makes you look older than attempting to look young. You can fool anyone, apart from the young. The worst are the lip operations.

Sometimes they threaten you with something - something you can't stand up to, can't even think about. And then you say, Don't do it to me, do it to somebody else, do it to So-and-so. And perhaps you might pretend, afterwards, that it was only a trick and that you just said it to make them stop and didn't mean it. But that isn't true. At the time when it happens you do mean it.
