Old Quotes

How some they have died, and some they have left me, and some are taken from me; all are departed; all, all are gone, the old familiar faces Picture Quote #1

America is not a young land: it is old and dirty and evil before the settlers, before the Indians. The evil is there waiting Picture Quote #1

Of all sound of all bells... Most solemn and touching is the peal which rings out the Old Year Picture Quote #1

I have had playmates, I have had companions, in my days of childhood, in my joyful school days - all, all are gone, the old familiar faces Picture Quote #1

Admittedly, a homosexual can be conditioned to react sexually to a woman, or to an old boot for that matter. In fact, both homo - and heterosexual experimental subjects have been conditioned to react sexually to an old boot, and you can save a lot of money that way Picture Quote #1

When I look at my old pictures, all I can see is what I used to be but am no longer. I think: What I can see is what I am not Picture Quote #1

The argument between wives and whores is an old one; each one thinking that whatever she is, at least she is not the other Picture Quote #1

I like old men. They can be wonderful bastards because they have nothing to lose. The only people who can be themselves are babies and old bastards Picture Quote #1

And there was, in those Ipswich years, for me at least, a raw educational component; though I used to score well in academic tests, I seemed to know very little of how the world worked and was truly grateful for instruction, whether it was how to stroke a backhand, mix a martini, use a wallpaper steamer, or do the Twist. My wife, too, seemed willing to learn. Old as we must have looked to our children, we were still taking lessons, in how to be grown-up Picture Quote #1

The militant girl, in adopting new patterns of conduct, could not be judged by traditional standards. Old values, sterile and infantile phobias disappeared Picture Quote #1

Harry looked at Margaret and thought that, should a woman grow old, she might still have her deepest charm. Should a woman grow old, she would still be a woman, the essence of being so being so inerasable as never to vanish. And if men were to understand this as they, too, grew old, the world would be a happier place Picture Quote #1

... I glance around at the nest we have made, at the floorboards polished by our bare feet, at the continents of stain on the ceiling like an old and all-wrong discoverer's map, at the earnestly bloated canvases I conscientiously cover with great streaks straining to say what even I am beginning to suspect is the unsayable thing, and I grow frightened Picture Quote #1

Nothing seems to matter quite as much. I no longer think about death in the concentrated way I once did. I don't know you get so old and you sort of give up in some way. You've had your period of angst, your period of religious desperation, and you've arrived at a philosophical position where you don't need, or you can't bear, to look at it Picture Quote #1

They danced on the shore in marvelous, civilized, humorous reels in which the old contributed wit when they could not contribute grace, and the young listened to their elders, who told them in their dancing to hold on, to love, to be patient, and most of all, to trust Picture Quote #1

An old man with a cane may discover that his many years have added nothing to his innocence but proof and explanation, and that, as much as he may have learned in his long life, he cannot see as far as he could see when he was seven Picture Quote #1

You cannot help but learn more as you take the world into your hands. Take it up reverently, for it is an old piece of clay, with millions of thumbprints on it Picture Quote #1

Whoever, fleeing marriage and the sorrows that women cause, does not wish to wed comes to a deadly old age Picture Quote #1

In the old movies, yes, there always was the happy ending and order was restored. As it is in Shakespeare's plays. It's no disgrace to, in the end, restore order. and punish the wicked and, in some way, reward the righteous Picture Quote #1

Thirty-six years old and he knows less than when he started. With the difference that now he knows how little he'll always know Picture Quote #1

He had a sensation of anxiety and shame, a sensitivity acute beyond usefulness, as if the nervous system, flayed of its old hide of social usage, must record every touch of pain Picture Quote #1

You can always tell the old river hand by the way in which he stretches himself out upon the cushions at the bottom of the boat, and encourages the rowers by telling them anecdotes about the marvelous feats he performed last season Picture Quote #1

It was a lovely landscape. It was idyllic, poetical, and it inspired me. I felt good and noble. I felt I didn't want to be sinful and wicked anymore. I would come and live here, and never do any more wrong, and lead a blameless, beautiful life, and have silver hair when I got old, and all that sort of thing Picture Quote #1

You've got to make a conscious choice every day to shed the old - whatever 'the old' means for you Picture Quote #1

Nothing-so it seems to me... Is more beautiful than the love that has weathered the storms of life.... The love of the young for the young, that is the beginning of life. But the love of the old for the old, that is the beginning of-of things longer Picture Quote #1

Nothing is more beautiful than the love that has weathered the storms of life. The love of the young for the young, that is the beginning of life. But the love of the old for the old, that is the beginning of things longer Picture Quote #1

I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened Picture Quote #1

He that would pass the latter part of life with honour and decency, must, when he is young, consider that he shall one day be old; and remember, when he is old, that he has once been young Picture Quote #1

Although there may be nothing new under the sun, what is old is new to us and so rich and astonishing that we never tire of it. If we do tire of it, if we lose our curiosity, we have lost something of infinite value, because to a high degree it is curiosity that gives meaning and savour to life Picture Quote #1

The world is burdened with young fogies. Old men with ossified minds are easily dealt with. But men who look young, act young and everlastingly harp on the fact that they are young, but who nevertheless think and act with a degree of caution that would be excessive in their grandfathers, are the curse of the world. Their very conservatism is secondhand, and they don't know what they are conserving Picture Quote #1

About 60 years ago, I said to my father, 'Old Mr. Senex is showing his age; he sometimes talks quite stupidly.' My father replied, 'That isn't age. He's always been stupid. He is just losing his ability to conceal it Picture Quote #1
