We advance in years somewhat in the manner of an invading army in a barren land; the age that we have reached, as the saying goes, we but hold with an outpost, and still keep open communications with the extreme rear and first beginnings of the march. ~Robert Louis Stevenson, "Virginibus Puerisque II," Virginibus Puerisque, 1881
Are we not like two volumes of one book? ~Marceline Desbordes-Valmore

Old as she was, she still missed her daddy sometimes. ~Gloria Naylor
Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children. ~George Bernard Shaw
Henry James once defined life as that predicament which precedes death, and certainly nobody owes you a debt of honor or gratitude for getting him into that predicament. But a child does owe his father a debt, if Dad, having gotten him into this peck of trouble, takes off his coat and buckles down to the job of showing his son how best to crash through it. ~Clarence Budington Kelland
He didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it. ~Clarence Budington Kelland
