Experience which was once claimed by the aged is now claimed exclusively by the young.

The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What's that a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young you get a gold watch you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs alcohol you party you get ready for high school. You go to grade school you become a kid you play you have no responsibilities you become a little baby you go back into the womb you spend your last nine months floating... ...and you finish off as an orgasm.

Old age has its pleasures which though different are not less than the pleasures of youth.

There is no absurdity so palpable but that it may be firmly planted in the human head if you only begin to inculcate it before the age of five by constantly repeating it with an air of great solemnity.

Age is a case of mind over matter. If you don't mind it don't matter.

The older you get the few slumber parties there are, and I hate that. I liked slumber parties. What happened to them?

I want a hero: an uncommon want, When every year and month sends forth a new one, Till after cloying the gazettes with can't, The age discovers he is not the true one, Of such as these I should not care to vaunt, I'll therefore take our ancient friend

At best spiritual voices help us replace madness with clarity & violence, with compassion and peace. But we will live up to the promise only if we overcome the temptation to promote our own narrow comfort and individual peace of mind. If we fail this challenge we will not get a spiritual "new age" but a spiritual dead end.
