I think the biggest disease the world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved. I know that I can give love for a minute for half an hour for a day for a month but I can give. I am very happy to do that I want to do that.

I think being able to age gracefully is a very important talent. It is too late for me.

I don't think of myself as a poor deprived ghetto girl who made good. I think of myself as somebody who from an early age knew I was responsible for myself and I had to make good.

Sometimes I think it would be easier to avoid old age to die young but then you'd never complete your life would you? You'd never wholly know you.

Age is whatever you think it is. You are as old as you think you are.

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.

Middle age is the time when a man is always thinking that in a week or two he will feel as good as ever.

I think when the full horror of being fifty hits you you should stay home and have a good cry.

I think your whole life shows in your face and you should be proud of that.

As long as any adult thinks that he like the parents and teachers of old can become introspective invoking his own youth to understand the youth before him he is lost.

I don't believe one grows older. I think that what happens early on in life is that at a certain age one stands still and stagnates.
