“For children, childhood is timeless. It is always the present. Everything is in the present tense. Of course, they have memories. Of course, time shifts a little for them and Christmas comes round in the end. But they don’t feel it. Today is what they feel, and when they say ‘When I grow up,’ there is always an edge of disbelief—how could they ever be other than what they are?”
― Ian McEwan, The Child in Time

“People forget that old women were young once, but d'you think we old women forget? In my heart, I'm still thirty.”
― Megan Chance, The Spiritualist

“Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternatives.”
