“Why hope to live a long life if we’re only going to fill it with self-absorption, body maintenance and image repair? When we die, do we want people to exclaim ‘She looked ten years younger,’ or do we want them to say ‘She lived a great life’?”

“I think if you don’t live in the moment, then you become old.”

“The closing years of life are like the end of a masquerade party, when the masks are dropped.”

“We all have the duty to do good.”

“If you want to test your memory, try to recall what you were worrying about one year ago.”

“I never think of the future- it comes soon enough.”
