• I grow old though pleased with my memories The tasks I can no longer complete Are balanced by the love of the tasks gone past I offer no apology only this plea: When I am frayed and strained and drizzle at the end Please someone cut a square and put me in a quilt That I might keep some child warm And some old person with no one else to talk to Will hear my whispers And cuddle near

• Si sólo eres escéptico, no te llega ninguna idea nueva. Te conviertes en un viejo cascarrabias convencido de que las tonterías gobiernan el mundo. (Pero de vez en cuando, una nueva idea resulta ser acertada, válida y maravillosa. Si tienes la costumbre de ser demasiado escéptico con todo, te lo vas a perder o te va a molestar, y en cualquier caso te estarás interponiendo en el camino de la comprensión y el progreso.

• When a baby comes into the world, its hands are clenched, right? Like this?" He made a fist. "Why? Because a baby not knowing any better, wants to grab everything, to say the whole world is mine.

• I really think we should pass a law in every state, I don't care whether it takes the independence away from an old person or not. You shouldn't be driving a car if you're over the age of 80. Maybe even less than that.

• Como un cometa abrasador, he atravesado noches infinitas, espacios interestelares de la imaginación, la voluptuosidad y el miedo. He sido hombre, mujer, anciano, niña, he sido la multitud en los grandes bulevares de las capitales de Occidente, he sido el sereno Buda de Oriente, cuya calma y sabiduría envidiamos. He conocido el honor y el deshonor, el entusiasmo y el agotamiento. He sido el sol y la luna, y todo porque la vida no basta.

• A wound in the friendship of young persons, as in the bark of young trees, may be so grown over as to leave no scar. The case is very different in regard to old persons and old timber. The reason of this may be accountable from the decline of the social passions, and the prevalence of spleen, suspicion, and rancor towards the latter part of life.

• Sometimes people will request a song I haven't played in a while and I'll play it and singing the lyrics will mean something different to me as a 35 year-old person than they did when I was 25. I know I'm still that person who wrote it and thought I knew what I meant when I was writing them. They meant something very exact to me in that time of my life. But it's really cool when those same lyrics can transform into something else and mean something entirely different to me.
