"You can only be twice someone's age once."
"Forty-two. His age had astounded him for years, and each time that he had sat so astounded, trying to figure out what had become of the young, slim man in his twenties, a whole additional year slipped by and had to be recorded, a continually growing sum which he could not reconcile with his self-image. He still saw himself, in his mind's eye, as youthful, and when he caught sight of himself in photographs he usually collapsed ... Somebody took my actual physical presence away and substituted this, he had thought from time to time. Oh well, so it went."
"Utility is the great idol of the age, to which all powers must do service and all talents swear allegiance."
"To be happy, we must be true to nature and carry our age along with us."
"Old age is ready to undertake tasks that youth shirked because they would take too long."
"Everyone knows that by far the happiest and universally enjoyable age of man is the first. What is there about babies which makes us hug and kiss and fondle them, so that even an enemy would give them help at that age?"
"What makes old age hard to bear is not the failing of one's faculties, mental and physical, but the burden of one's memories."
"The horse stares at its captor, barely remembering the free kicks of youth."
"There is no absurdity so palpable but that it may be firmly planted in the human head if you only begin to inculcate it before the age of five, by constantly repeating it with an air of great solemnity."

"I was thrilled one year when I was younger when not only did my brothers get hockey sticks for Christmas - but I did too!"
"One of the things I like best about the Halloween show is that I change outfits about six times in the show. It is a lot of fun to play the different characters."
"I think it's a lot harder for the pros to have a long career in ice dance and in pairs. It seems the singles have a little bit of a longer career."
"My parents never pressured me to skate. They always said I could quit if I wanted to. They only expected me to skate when they had already paid for the expensive lessons. But, otherwise they said I could do what I wanted to do."
