Old friend, there are people—young and old—that I like, and people that I do not like. The former are always in short supply.

Old lovers go the way of old photographs, bleaching out gradually as in a slow bath of acid: first the moles and pimples, then the shadings. Then the faces themselves, until nothing remains but the general outlines. Margaret Atwood
Old men tend to forget what thought was like in their youth; they forget the quickness of the mental jump, the daring of the youthful intuition, the agility of the fresh insight. They become accustomed to the more plodding varieties of reason, and because this is more than made up by the accumulation of experience, old men think themselves wiser than the young. Isaac Asimov
James Joyce quote: "Old father, old artificer, stand me now and ever in good stead."
