I love sleep so much. That's the one thing I won't sacrifice. I really cannot.

At my age, no one is married, no one has kids, no one has a career.

We virtually never feel our age, but thinking that we should can lead to disaster.

Reason is a crutch for age, but youth is strong enough to walk alone.

I believe the true function of age is memory. I'm recording as fast as I can.

The older generation had greater respect for land than science. But we live in an age when science, more than soil, has become the provider of growth and abundance. Living just on the land creates loneliness in an age of globality.

One of my grandfathers, actually, having gone out there as a minister, decided he would better serve the people as a doctor. So at a very late age - at the age of 38 in fact - he changed course and decided to become a doctor.
