"Everyone desires long life, not one old..." - Quote by Jonathan Swift

“I never knew a man come to greatness or eminence who lay abed late in the morning.”

“A college joke to cure the dumps.”

“I cannot but conclude that the Bulk of your Natives, to be the most pernicious Race of little odious Vermin that Nature ever suffered to crawl upon the Surface of the Earth.”

“my life has been wonderful. I have done what I felt like. I was given courage and I was given adventure and that has carried me along. And then also a sense of humor and a little bit of common sense. It has been a very rich life.”

“Out of sleeping a waking, Out of waking a sleep.”

“Vocations which we wanted to pursue, but didn't, bleed, like colors, on the whole of our existence.”

“To grow old is to pass from passion to compassion.”

“I'd always tried to resist playing the supervirility thing. I liked showing the vulnerability of age.”

“The pressure gets worse the older you get. The hole starts to look the size of a Bayer aspirin.”
