“There's nothing hard about it. But I get praised for the hardest of things I do, and I do some of the hardest of things. Things like waking up in the morning and going to sleep at night, all alone except for when I'm with someone; and it's getting harder and harder.”
― Dorothy Baker, Cassandra at the Wedding

“Though why should we expect age to mellow us? If it isn't life's business to reward merit, why should it be life's business to give us warm comfortable feelings towards its end? What possible evolutionary purpose could nostalgia serve?”
― Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending

“I plead youth as a mitigating circumstance.”
― Gabriel García Márquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude
