“If you wait, all that happens is that you get older.”

“[bends over] *errgh* Sorry for making that noise, but … that's what happens when you get older. One day what happens is that you bend over, and you never come back.”

“The older you get, the fewer slumber parties there are, and I hate that. I liked slumber parties. What happened to them?”

“As you get older three things happen. The first is your memory goes, and I can’t remember the other two.”

“I used to think the years would go by in order, that you get older one year at a time. But it's not like that. It happens overnight.”

“You don't get everything all at once. You wait.”

“You can't just sit there and wait for people to give you that golden dream, you've got to get out there and make it happen yourself.”

“It's the same the whole world over.
Every year we get a little bit older.
No matter what you say, no matter what you do
Rich or poor, you know it's gonna happen to you.”

“If something takes too long, something happens to you. You become all and only the thing you want and nothing else, for you have paid too much for it, too much in wanting and too much in waiting and too much in getting.”

“Then I thought, boy, isn't that just typical? You wait and wait and wait for something, and then when it happens, you feel sad.”
