Young men, hear an old man to whom old men hearkened when he was young.

My old man is a man of few words.

A man knows when he is growing old because he begins to look like his father.

Perhaps being old is having lighted rooms inside your head, and people in them, acting. People you know, yet can't quite name.

A man is not old as long as he is seeking something.

Old age is the most unexpected of all things that happen to a man.

The thing is, when you see your old friends, you come face to face with yourself. I run into someone I've known for 40 or 50 years, and they're old. And I suddenly realize I'm old. It comes as an enormous shock to me.

A friend often says I'm an old man in a young man's husk. I like that. I am old-fashioned in some ways.

You get older and you see yourself and say, 'God, he's old, who's that?'

Then not only an old man, but also a drunkard, becomes a second time a child.
