Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what happened. ~Jennifer Yane
In childhood, we yearn to be grown-ups. In old age, we yearn to be kids. It just seems that all would be wonderful if we didn't have to celebrate our birthdays in chronological order. ~Robert Brault, www.robertbrault.com

When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around.
