Age doesn't matter unless you're a cheese: wisdom from our elders, paperback/kathryn petras

Its ill-becoming for an old broad to sing about how bad she wants it.

But occasionally we do.

-Lena Horne I take a simple view of living.

It is: Keep your eyes open and get on with it.

-Laurence Olivier The only sin is mediocrity.

-Martha Graham When I was young, I found out that the big toe always ends up making a hole in a sock.

So I stopped wearing socks.

-Albert Einstein Go out on a limb.

Thats where the fruit is.

-Jimmy Carter Full of surprise, insight, humor, perspective, celebration, inspiration, and a kind of offhand, poignant poetry, Age Doesnt Matter Unless Youre a Cheese -title courtesy of Billie Burke-shares hundreds of the best things men and women over sixty have said about how to love, work, laugh, and live.

Collected by authors with a perfect ear for quotes, Kathryn and Ross Petras, Age Doesnt Matter brings together Albert Einsteins equation for happiness, Colette on the virtues of astonishment, and Julia Childs secret of longevity: Red meat and gin.
