"Perhaps middle age is, or should be, a period of shedding shells; the shell of ambition, the shell of material accumulations and possessions, the shell of the ego.

Perhaps one can at last in middle age, if not earlier, be completely oneself. And what a liberation that would be!"
-- Anne Morrow Lindbergh: Gift From the Sea

"Do not forget the hands of the aged; they have touched much of life and have become sensitive and sympathetic."
