David  Brooks
“The lecture halls of the world are filled with senior citizens who seek greater knowledge and wisdom. The explanatory drive that was there when they were babies is still there now.

Wisdom at this phase of life is the ability to see the connections between things. It’s the ability to hold opposite truths—contradictions and paradoxes—in the mind at the same time, without wrestling to impose some linear order. It’s the ability to see things from multiple perspectives.”
― David Brooks, How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen

Jacob M. Appel
“Choose old people for enemies. They die. You win.”
― Jacob M. Appel, Einstein's Beach House
