"I like old men. They can be..." - Quote by John Updike

“To be a human being is to be in a state of tension between your appetites and your dreams, and the social realities around you and your obligations to your fellow man.”

“Baseball is meant to be fun, and not all the solemn money-men in fur-collared greatcoats, not all the scruffy media cameramen and sour-faced reporters that crowd around the dugouts can quite smother the exhilarating spaciousness and grace of this impudently relaxed sport, a game of innumerable potential redemptions and curious disappointments.”

“I feel old only when I look at my hands or at myself in the mirror.”

“I find as I grow older that I love those most whom I loved first.”

“Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions.”

“At fifty everyone has the face he deserves.”

“What you do speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say.”

“For most of my life, I’ve felt that there must be more to our existence than meets the eye. This is who I am, and you can’t expect me to be someone I’m not.”

“The more real you get, the more unreal everything else is.”
