You know you're getting old when all the names in your black book have M. D. after them.

You know you're getting old when all the names in your black

Summary

This quote humorously suggests that as one gets older, their contacts in their black book (referring to a physical or digital contact list) consist mostly of medical doctors (represented by the initials M. D.). It implies that with age, individuals tend to rely more on doctors for health-related issues and appointments, rather than social connections or personal interactions. It humorously highlights the contrast between youthful social contacts and the increased importance of healthcare professionals as one grows older.

Scepticism, as I said, is not intellectual only; it is moral

Scepticism, as I said, is not intellectual only; it is moral also; a chronic atrophy and disease of the whole soul. A man lives by believing something; not by debating and arguing about many things. A sad case for him when all that he can manage to believe is something he can button in his pocket, and with one or the other organ eat and digest! Lower than that he will not get.
