“Then Treece realized a remarkable thing. He understood in a flash that everyone in the world was the same age -no one younger or older than anyone else. He could not understand it, but he knew it to be true. Was there something in the air of the world that made people appear to be old or middle-aged or young?”

“The messaging that you get from society, media, and Hollywood skews age-related thinking. Back then I thought it was just because young women were more beautiful, but now I realize that it’s because a young woman is typically more docile, often easily manipulated, and too easily tricked into doing what the man wants, both societally and individually. […] Funny how when we come into our own power as women, that’s exactly when we are considered unattractive. It is they who are unattractive.”
― Rose McGowan, Brave

“[The Gaze of an Invisible Stranger]
In western Europe and north America
In the cities of cruelty, racism, freedom & democracy,
Cities of exile and alienation,
You see many young people
Who’d rather die than greet a stranger,
You observe how they master the art of ignoring
And not acknowledging the humanity of anyone
Who is not their height and weight
Whose features, skin color, and eyes are different than theirs…
In return, you observe cities filled with older people
Who delight at a nod or greeting from any stranger
Who are hungry for the slightest kind human touch
From any by passerby…
Making you, the Invisible Stranger, wonder:
Did these same elderly folks raise the young ones?
Are they merely inheriting a world of their creation?
Do the young ones realize
The isolation, loneliness, and desolation awaiting them tomorrow?

“Do you know an executive leader in your industry who you can call on to help you navigae a problem? Someone at the midlevel who can tell you about job openings? Someone at the junior level who can help you take the temperature of employees just starting out, or teach you what the newer members of the workforce are prioritizing in the office? Someone at the junior just starting out, or teach you what the newer members of the workforce are prioritizing in the office? I always say it's important for me to know someone in every decade of life. Eventually the 60 somethings will retire and the 20 something contacts will move up, before you know it, that junior level employee you knew back in the day is running her own company and thanks to years of building a relationship, you have in.”
