Famous quotes containing the word age:
“At this age [9–12], in contrast to adolescence, girls still want to know their parents and hear what they think. You are the influential ones if you want to be. Girls, now, want to hear your point of view and find out how you got to be what you are and what you are doing. They like their fathers and mothers to be interested in what they’re doing and planning. They like to know what you think of their thoughts.”
—Stella Chess (20th century)
“Your lordship, though not clean past your youth, have yet some smack of age in you, some relish of the saltness of time.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“My age fallen away like white swaddling
Floats in the middle distance, becomes
An inhabited cloud.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
