[on reaching 80] "Many of my contemporaries are popping off and I feel
a bit ashamed to be carrying on. Besides I find the uncertainties of
youth return in old age. When I was young I was told I must not
interrupt while adults were talking. Now that is exactly how I feel
when I hear young people in conversation."
