The Old Men Who Row Boats and Other Stories Quotes

“I do not know what my age is,” he said with a straight face. “And I don’t wish to be reminded of it. Have you heard that saying, ‘How old would you be if you did not know how old you were?’ It is a very true statement, and I do not feel as if I am very old. Moreover, I won’t pretend to be, and I see no point in accelerating the race to the finish line where only a grave awaits.”
