“It’s not catastrophes, murders, deaths, diseases, that age and kill us; it’s the way people look and laugh, and run up the steps of omnibuses.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“POET
If not in a place, where are the People weeping?
LIBERAL
They creep weeping in the face, not place.

The weeping, the creeping, the peepee-ing, the peeping?”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“...I’m not money hungry.... People who are rich want to be richer, but what’s the difference? You can’t take it with you. The toys get different, that’s all. The rich guys buy a football team, the poor guys buy a football. It’s all relative.”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
