“If you can’t trust the founders to be truthful in their profiles, how can you trust what anyone says on the site”

TechCrunch on speculation about the age of a MySpace co-founder

I know people who are twenty or thirty years old that lie about their age - they say they are twenty or thirty, when really they are closed minded crotechety old geezers of sixty or more

i know seventy year old men who could whip the ass of strapping young man with one hand tied behind their back, a wink and a smile

i know teenageers and even kids years young than me that know as much as i know about life, get how the world works - enough to cause you wonder if they've been here before

i don't believe your age relates very closely to the number of laps you've made around the sun -

“People grow old only by deserting their ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope as old as your despair. In the central place of every heart there is a recording chamber. So long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer and courage, so long are you young. When your heart is covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then, and then only, are you grown old. And then, indeed as the ballad says, you just fade away.”
