Famous quotes containing the words healthy and/or ageing:
“A healthy male adult bore consumes each year one and a half times his own weight in other people’s patience.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
“But I must needs take my petulance, contrasting it with my accustomed morning hopefulness, as a sign of the ageing of appetite, of a decay in the very capacity of enjoyment. We need some imaginative stimulus, some not impossible ideal which may shape vague hope, and transform it into effective desire, to carry us year after year, without disgust, through the routine- work which is so large a part of life.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
