Famous quotes containing the words age and/or rules:
“see the shaky future grow familiar
in the pinched, indigenous faces
of these thoroughbred mental cases,
twice my age and half my weight.
We are all old-timers,
each of us holds a locked razor.”
—Robert Lowell (19171977)
“Isnt the greatest rule of all the rules simply to please?”
—Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (16221673)
