It has been patched and darned many times, reknitted to suit different people, shoved in a box under the sink of censorship to be cut up for the dusters of propaganda, yet it always - eventually - manages to spring back into its old familar shape. History has a habit of changing the people who think they are changing it. History always has a few tricks up its frayed sleeve. It's been around a long time. Terry Prachett

The old rules and the old methods of winning are gone. Dick Morris
Sometimes in the past when I was going to perform a piece again I would listen to old recordings and try to reproduce the material. This time I realized that carrying around old information, trying to get everything in, and still be in the moment just doesn't work. Meredith Monk
Stephanie Mills quote: "Everything that's old is new, and everything that's new is old."
Everything that's old is new, and everything that's new is old. Stephanie Mills
A child is beset with long traditions. And his infancy is so old, so old, that the mere adding of years in the life to follow will not seem to throw it further back - it is already so far. Alice Meynell

We had an old Victrola with the old bulldog they used to have there. The horn would come out. Jay McShann
Theodore F. Green quote: "Most people say that as you get old, you have to give up..."
Most people say that as you get old, you have to give up things. I think you get old because you give up things. Theodore F. Green
