Famous quotes containing the words age and/or rules:

    “Old age is
    a flight of small
    cheeping birds
    skimming
    bare trees
    above a snow glaze.”
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

    “Never invite to dinner: those who won’t decide until the last minute; those who come more than half an hour late; those who want to bring along two or three friends; drunks; monologists; those who stay until three o’clock in the morning; those who think that conversation means having an argument; those who take a high moral tone; those who are stupid, ugly, or dull. Enforcement of these rules will enable one to eat alone every night in comfort.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
