Who said “Old age is the most unexpected of all the things that happen to a man.”?

“Wrecked on the lee shore of age.”

“No wise man ever wished to be younger.”

“Old age is an insult. It's like being smacked.”

“Be wise with speed; a fool at forty is a fool indeed.”

“There's no such thing as old age, there is only sorrow.”

“Fascism is nothing but capitalist reaction.”

“In a serious struggle there is no worse cruelty than to be magnanimous at an inopportune time.”

“Learning carries within itself certain dangers because out of necessity one has to learn from one's enemies.”

“The historic ascent of humanity, taken as a whole, may be summarized as a succession of victories of consciousness over blind forces -- in nature, in society, in man himself.”

“Life is not an easy matter. You cannot live through it without falling into frustration and cynicism unless you have before you a great idea which raises you above personal misery, above weakness, above all kinds of perfidy and baseness.”

“Let a man find himself, in distinction from others, on top of two wheels with a chain -- at least in a poor country like Russia -- and his vanity begins to swell out like his tires. In America it takes an automobile to produce this effect.”
