I saw an old woman walking in the rain, and rather than offer her an umbrella, I offered her advice. I said, “Rejoice in the rain. Pretend you’ve just exited the desert.” I knew my words impacted her because she shivered in delight. I should be...
Who has stopped worshiping us?" "Everyone in the old world," April said little harshly. "But of course they have, young woman. We left, didn't we? We came to Everworld. How can you expect people to worship a God they can't see from time to time?" "Ye...
Harvey 'Big Daddy' Pollitt: Let's go home. Ida 'Big Momma' Pollitt: Don't you want to ride with the children, honey? Harvey 'Big Daddy' Pollitt: No! Ida 'Big Momma' Pollitt: [laughing] He's his sassy old self again, all right! Harvey 'Big Daddy' Poll...
Amélie: [whispering in cinema] I like to look for things no one else catches. [film on the cinema screen: as a man and a woman are about to kiss, a fly walks across a windowpane in the background] Amélie: I hate the way drivers never look at the ro...
Not enough youths fighting windmills. And the old are fearful, jaded or dead. Do not ask me what to do. I am just as cowardly as you. And do not tell me it is enough to speak the truth; that it is bravery enough. Every mountain leveled to the ground,...
We think you'll find that every woman in her heart of hearts longs for three things: to be romanced, to play an irreplaceable role in a great adventure, and to unveil beauty. That's what makes a woman come alive.

I've thrown away lots of my old diaries - you never know who might get their hands on them. But I have kept a few notes on the good old days.
People talk to old people like they're children.'Oh you're very old aren't you?' Yeah I'm old. I'm not stupid.
What old people say you cannot do, you try and find that you can. Old deeds for old people, and new deeds for new.
It's taken me to be an older guy, an old man, to have an old man's voice. Because I only liked old men's voices. As a kid, I didn't like pip-squeaked singers.
For a woman to deny the necessity of true love in her life would be to deny herself, and her creator.
