„I grow old … I grow old …I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.“
— T.S. Eliot
„I grow old … I grow old ...I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.I do not think that they will sing to me.I have seen them riding seaward on the wavesCombing the white hair of the waves blown backWhen the wind blows the water white and black.We have lingered in the chambers of the seaBy sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brownTill human voices wake us, and we drown.“
— T.S. Eliot
„I was a hip kid. When I saw Bambi it was the midnight show.“
— George Carlin
„When I am grown up I shall carry a notebook—a fat book with many pages, methodically lettered. I shall enter my phrases.“

„Of course I am downcast and tremblewith pity for my statewhen old age and wrinkles cover me,when Eros flies aboutand I pursue the glorious young.Pick up your lyreand sing to us of her who wearsviolets on her breasts. Sing especiallyof her who is wandering.“
— Sappho
„I am for those who believe in loose delights, I share the midnight orgies of young men, I dance with the dancers and drink with the drinkers.“
