“Joe shuddered. "Old people are horrible."
"No," Mrs Jinks corrected him. "There's nothing wrong with being old. Don't forget - you'll be old one day. Nobody can avoid it."
"Well, I won't be like Granny," Joe said.
"Of course you won't," Mrs Jinks agreed. "If you're kind and cheerful when you're young, you'll be kind and cheerful when you're old ... only more so. Old age is like a magnifying glass.

Anthony Horowitz, Granny

Anthony Horowitz, Granny
“It's always been my belief that the best way to weaken your enemies, whether they are bullies, politicians or unpleasant relatives, is to laugh at them.”

“She never murdered anyone. She didn't want to destroy the world. But I think there's another sort of evil that is often overlooked ... and it is this. Granny never did anything to help anyone else. She was rich and healthy (she lived into her nineties) but she was utterly selfish and complained all the time. ... As far as I know, she never tried to make anyone happy ... and if you ask me, evil is a perfectly reasonable description of someone like that.”
Anthony Horowitz, Granny
