John Updike
I know more about what it's like to be elderly and infirm and kind of stupid, the way you get forgetful, but on the other hand I'm a littler, wiser, dare we say? The word 'wisdom' has kind of faded out of our vocabulary, but yeah, I'm a little wiser.

I've learned that you have to make careful choices...Nothing is softer or more flexible than water...Autumn wins you best by this its mute appeal...Every new beginning comes from some other...Simplicity and repose are the qualities that measure...I was a smart kid, but I hated school...
