“"Come, come," said Tom's father, "at
your time of life,
There's no longer excuse for thus
playing the rake--
It is time you should think, boy, of
taking a wife."
"Why, so it is father--whose wife
shall I take?"”

Thomas Moore (1779–1852) Irish poet, singer and songwriter

Variant: When it’s over, I want to say: All my life I was a bride married to amazement.

“I am gradually approaching the period in my life when work comes first.”

Käthe Kollwitz (1867–1945) German artist

Diary entry (April 1910).
The Diary and Letters of Käthe Kollwitz (1955)
Context: I am gradually approaching the period in my life when work comes first. When both the boys went away for Easter, I hardly did anything but work. Worked, slept, ate and went for short walks. But above all I worked. And yet I wonder whether the "blessing" is not missing from such work. No longer diverted by other emotions, I work the way a cow grazes.
