Famous quotes containing the words frail and/or elderly:
“in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near”
—E.E. (Edward Estlin)
“[The] elderly and timid single gentleman in Paris ... never drove down the Champs Elysees without expecting an accident, and commonly witnessing one; or found himself in the neighborhood of an official without calculating the chances of a bomb. So long as the rates of progress held good, these bombs would double in force and number every ten years.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
