Age Seventy

Famous quotes containing the words age and/or seventy:

“I call the years when our children are between six and twelve the “golden years,” not because everything’s perfect . . . but because the kids are capable and independent. . . . They’re becoming fascinating human beings who continually astound us and make us laugh. And they build our self-esteem. They still adore us for the most part, not yet having reached that age of thinking everything we do is dumb, old-fashioned and irrelevant.”
—Vicki Lansky (20th century)

“At fifteen I visualized myself as a world-famous author of seventy with a mane of wavy white hair. Today I am practically bald.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
