“In a dream you are never eighty.”
“Now, in my middle age, about nineteen in the head I'd say, I am rowing, I am rowing.”
“Our children tremble in their teen-age cribs, whirling off on a thumb or a motorcycle.”
“When I lie down to love, old dwarf heart shakes her head. Like an imbecile she was born old.”
“Inside many of us is a small old man who wants to get out.”
