内容简介 在线阅读本书

"It's ill-becoming for an old broad to sing about how bad she wants it. But occasionally we do." -Lena Horne

"I take a simple view of living. It is: Keep your eyes open and get on with it." -Laurence Olivier

"The only sin is mediocrity." -Martha Graham

"When I was young, I found out that the big toe always ends up making a hole in a sock. So I stopped wearing socks." -Albert Einstein

"Go out on a limb. That's where the fruit is."-Jimmy Carter

Full of surprise, insight, humor, perspective, celebration, inspiration, and a kind of offhand, poignant poetry, Age Doesn't Matter Unless You're a Cheese--title courtesy of Billie Burke--shares hundreds of the best things men and women over sixty have said about how to love, work, laugh, and live. Collected by authors with a perfect ear for quotes, Kathryn and Ross Petras, Age Doesn't Matter brings together Albert Einstein's equation for happiness, Colette on the virtues of astonishment, and Julia Child's secret of longevity: "Red meat and gin."
作者简介 Kathryn and Ross Petras, brother and sister, are the authors, most recently, of the Stupidest books and calendars and the new Tough Dames Calendar. Ross Petras lives with his family in Hoboken, New Jersey; Kathryn Petras with her husband in Manhattan. Neither is yet 50, but wrote this book in preparation for the inevitable-and in celebration of what they can look forward to.
