You don't realize what fine fighting material there is in age. ... You show me any one who's lived to over seventy and you show me a fighter - some one who's got the will to live.

The point is that one's got an instinct to live. One doesn't live because one's reason assents to living. People who, as we say, 'would be better dead' don't want to die! People who apparently have everything to live for just let themselves fade out of life because they haven't got the energy to fight.

Image
It is my experience that no one, in the course of conversation, can fail to give themselves away sooner or later. Everyone has an irresistible urge to talk about themselves.
Agatha Christie

All I needed was a steady table and a typewriter...a marble-topped bedroom washstand table made a good place the dining-room table between meals was also suitable.

Everyone likes talking about himself. - Hercule Poirot
Agatha Christie
Image
Intuition is like reading a word without having to spell it out. A child can't do that because it has had so little experience. A grown-up person knows the word because they've seen it often before.

I suppose without curiosity a man would be a tortoise. Very comfortable life, a tortoise has.
