"Más bien me gustan", dijo ella con suficiencia. "A mi edad, considero cada funeral al que asisto como un triunfo personal, porque yo no era el invitado de honor.

• Además de escribir, he estado aprendiendo a "revelar" mis propias placas fotográficas, y no tengo una prenda de ropa o un dedo expuesto que no esté manchado. Me siento durante horas en un cuarto oscuro como si fuera un Fausto muy anciano en algún conjuro espantoso, y salgo de allí, cegado por la luz, como un prisionero de la Bastilla. Y sin embargo, no tengo éxito.

• The one good thing to be said about announcing yourself as a writer in the colonial Canadian fifties is that nobody told me I couldn't do it because I was a girl. They simply found the entire proposition ridiculous. Writers were dead and English, or else extremely elderly and American; they were not sixteen years old and Canadian.

• I'm plotting revolution against this lie that the majority has a monopoly of the truth. What are these truths that always bring the majority rallying round? Truths so elderly they are practically senile. And when a truth is as old as that, gentlemen, you can hardly tell it from a lie.

• Estuve en Corea. Toda mi vida me he dado cuenta de que veo a ancianos que han estado cerca de la muerte por una enfermedad y se curan por completo y dicen: ahora sé cómo vivir mi vida. He visto la muerte. Eso me pasó a mí cuando tenía 19 años. Fue algo terrible, aterrador. Y vivo mi vida como esas personas decidieron hacerlo cuando eran viejas. Así que, desde que tenía 19 años, me lo he pasado lo mejor posible cada día, incluso cuando he tenido una vida dura. Fue el ejército el que me enseñó sobre la vida, y el teatro el que me enseñó lo buena que podía ser.

• It is my feeling that as we grow older we should become not less radical but more so. I do not, of course, mean this in any political-party sense, but rather in a willingness to struggle for those things in which we passionately believe. Social activism and the struggle for social justice are often thought of as the natural activities of the young but not of the middle-aged or the elderly. In fact, I don't think this was ever true.

How many women, sad and lonely, wonder when love left, when it slipped away from their lives? How many elderly people feel left out of family celebrations, cast aside and longing each day for a little love?
