Older

Famous quotes containing the word older:

    I am continually amazed at how old young has become. Didn’t we, like our grandchildren, begin with a childhood we thought would never end? Now, all of a sudden, I’m older than my parents were when I thought they were old.
    Lois Wyse (20th century)

    As for farming, I am convinced that my genius dates from an older era than the agricultural. I would at least strike my spade into the earth with such careless freedom but accuracy as the woodpecker his bill into a tree.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    She is older than the rocks among which she sits; like the vampire, she has been dead many times, and learned the secrets of the grave.
    Walter Pater (1839–1894)
