All that I did," she said, "everything I tried to do. All for nothing." Nothing is done entirely for nothing, said the fox of dreams. Nothing is wasted. You are older, and you have made decisions, and you are not the fox you were yesterday. Take what you have learned, and move on.

Neil Gaiman

The velocity and volume on the Web are so great that nothing is forgotten and nothing is remembered.

Leon Wieseltier

All the humiliating, tragicomic, heartbreaking things happened to me in my girlhood, and nothing makes me happier than to realize I cannot possibly relive my youth.

Ilka Chase

It's a very tempting thing to try and relive your glory days when you get a little older and you worry that people have forgotten all about you.

David Gilmour

There's nothing I hate more than nothing. Nothing keeps me up at night. I toss and turn over nothing. Nothing could cause a great big fight.

Edie Brickell

I don't like getting older, but there's nothing I can do. Hitting 60 wasn't great, but I think I was lucky in not being that beautiful; it can be really cruel on people who have been stunning.

Jane Birkin

I've got a great dislike of reunions. It's a little like trying to go back and relive the best parts of your life, but you can't do it. Nothing is ever the same.

Eric Burdon

There's nothing more arrogant or conceited than youth, and there's nothing other than machinery that can replace youth.

Elliott Gould

In the world it is called Tolerance, but in hell it is called Despair...the sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die.

Dorothy L. Sayers

Nothing is hidden, nothing is ever lost, nothing is ever forgotten. That's always been part of my problem.

Simon R. Green

True worth is in being, not seeming- In doing, each day that goes by, Some little good, not in the dreaming Of great things to do by and by. For whatever men say in their blindness, And spite of the fancies of youth, There's nothing so kingly as kindness, And nothing so royal as truth.

Alice Cary

So far as I am able to judge, nothing has been left undone, either by man or nature, to make India the most extraordinary country that the sun visits on his rounds. Nothing seems to have been forgotten, nothing overlooked.

Mark Twain

We fight to great disadvantage when we fight with those who have nothing to lose.

Francesco Guicciardini

Nothing is lost. Nothing is forgotten.It was in the blood, the flesh,And now it is forever.

Greg Bear

I don't understand people getting depressed about getting older. There is nothing you can do about it, so you might as well embrace it.

Twiggy

If you want to live a long time, don't fool with nothing old but money, nothing big but a bank roll, nothing black but a Cadillac, nothing over twenty-two years, nothing that weighs over 130. If you do, you're in trouble. 'Cause when you're getting old and your cells gettin' low, you'll need a Delco battery to boost ya.
