Quote by Estelle Getty

Age does not bring you wisdom, age brings you wrinkles.

Age does not bring you wisdom, age brings you wrinkles.

Summary

This quote suggests that aging does not necessarily guarantee wisdom; instead, it emphasizes that the passage of time merely results in physical signs of aging, such as wrinkles. It implies that wisdom cannot be automatically attained with age but rather is acquired through life experiences, personal growth, and the willingness to learn and reflect. The quote challenges the assumption that age correlates with wisdom and urges individuals to seek knowledge and understanding beyond the superficial changes that come with getting older.

My parents, and librarians along the way, taught me about the space between words about the margins, where so many juicy moments of life and spirit and friendship could be found. In a library, you could find miracles and truth and you might find something that would make you laugh so hard that you get shushed, in the friendliest way.

When our governments want to sell us a course of action, they do it by making sure it's the only thing on the agenda, the only thing everyone's talking about. And they pre-load the ensuing discussion with highly selected images, devious and prejudicial language, dubious linkages, weak or false 'intelligence' and selected 'leaks.'
