"At fifty everyone has the face he..." - Quote by George Orwell

“Within certain limits, it is actually true that the less money you have, the less you worry.”

“In all the modern talk about energy, efficiency, social service and the rest of it, what meaning is there except "Get money, get it legally, and get a lot of it"? Money has become the grand test of virtue.”

“Human beings were behaving as human beings and not as cogs in the capitalist machine.”

“No woman should have a memory. Memory in a woman is the beginning of dowdiness. One can always tell from a woman's bonnet whether she has got a memory or not.”

“It is wonderful to me that old men should not be sensible that their minds keep pace with their bodies in the progress of decay.”

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

“Let not a man guard his dignity, but let his dignity guard him.”

“Certain faults are necessary for the existence of the individual. We would resent it if old friends were to get rid of certain peculiarities.”

“What I admire most in any man is a serene spirit, a steady freedom from moral indignation, and all-embracing tolerance--in brief,what is commonly called sportsmanship.”
