Gertrude Stein on age

The family is always the family but during vacations it is an extended family and that is exhausting.

War is never fatal but always lost. Always lost.

America is my country and Paris is my home town and it is as it has come to be.

When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around.
But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.

And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.

Jack Benny1894–1974Often credited to Mark Twain
