Those
who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old
age, but they die young.

I
guess I don't so much mind being old, as I mind
being fat and old.
-- Peter Gabriel

An
important antidote to American democracy is American
gerontocracy. The positions of eminence and
authority in Congress are allotted in accordance
with length of service, regardless of quality.
Superficial observers have long criticized the
United States for making a fetish of youth. This is
unfair. Uniquely among modern organs of public and
private administration, its national legislature
rewards senility.
-- John Kenneth
Galbraith
1908-, American
Economist
