"I am not old, but my young..." - Quote by Charles Dickens

“Quadruped lions are said to be savage, only when they are hungry; biped lions are rarely sulky longer than when their appetite for distinction remains unappeased.”

“What lawsuits grow out of the graves of rich men, every day; sowing perjury, hatred, and lies among near kindred, where there should be nothing but love!”

“All through it, I have known myself to be quite undeserving. And yet I have had the weakness, and have still the weakness, to wish you to know with what a sudden mastery you kindled me, heap of ashes that I am, into fire- a fire, however, inseparable in its nature from myself, quickening nothing, lighting nothing, doing no service, idly burning away.”

“As you get older you're told to be sensible, but it's important for writing if you're a comic that you're able to still access that childlike thing.”

“You take all the experience and judgment of men over 50 out of the world and there wouldn't be enough left to run it.”

“What old people say you cannot do, you try and find that you can. Old deeds for old people, and new deeds for new.”

“She was very young...she still expected something from life, she did not understand that to push an inconvenient person over a cliff solves nothing.”

“Death lies on her like an untimely frost.”

“Truly novel inventions emerge only in one's youth. Later one becomes ever more experienced, famous-and foolish.”
