"At middle age the soul should be opening up like a rose, not closing up like a cabbage "

(so when exactly is middle age?...need to know to make sure i open up like a rose... )

"...middle age is that point in your life when you shift from seeing the future in terms of your potential and begin to see it in terms of your limitations..."

(oh no! it sounds terrible...i may be middle-aged...)



"Idealist: One who, on noticing that a rose smells better than a cabbage, concludes that it will also make better soup "
