"You're never too old, too wacky, too..." - Quote by Dr Seuss

“I meant what I said and I said what I meant.”

“A life is a life no matter how small”

“My uncle ordered popovers from the restaurant's bill of fare. And, when they were served, he regarded them with a penetrating stare. Then he spoke great words of wisdom as he sat there on that chair: "To eat these things," said my uncle, "You must exercise great care. You may swallow down what's solid, but you must spit out the air!" And as you partake of the world's bill of fare, that's darned good advice to follow. Do a lot of spitting out the hot air. And be careful what you swallow.”

“Read anything I write for the pleasure of reading it. Whatever else you find will be the measure of what you brought to the reading.”

“Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.”

“Why should we leave it to Harper & Brothers and Redding & Co. to select our reading?”

“Politicians, old buildings, and prostitutes become respectable with age.”

“And now I am eking out my days in my corner, taunting myself with the bitter and entirely useless consolations that an intelligent man cannot seriously become anything; that only a fool can become something. Yes, sir, an intelligent nineteenth-century man must be, is morally bound to be, an essentially characterless creature; and a man of character, a man of action - an essentially limited creature. This is my conviction at the age of forty. I am forty now, and forty years - why, it is all of a lifetime, it is the deepest of old age. Living past forty is indecent, vulgar, immoral!”

“It's great to have gray hair. Ask anyone who's bald.”
