Description: Product Description
It's 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. That's where the fruit is."-Jimmy Carter

Full of surprise, insight, humor, perspective, celebration, inspiration, and a kind of offhand, poignant poetry, Age Doesn't Matter Unless You're 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 Doesn't Matter brings together Albert Einstein's equation for happiness, Colette on the virtues of astonishment, and Julia Child's secret of longevity: "Red meat and gin."

Reviews: Tani (USA: CA) (2012/04/23):
I loved this book and will be sure to copy out some of the funniest sayings before sending it on, but my book shelves are getting too full. A laugh on many pages, and plenty of wisdom here, too. It is full of quotations by famous people about getting old.

"When you are younger, you get blamed for crimes you never committed, and when you're older, you begin to get credit for virtues you never possesses. It evens itself out." -- Writer I.F. Stone

"It is the beginning of the end when you discover you have style." --Writer Dashiell Hammett
