When I was young I was called a rugged individualist. When I was in my fifties I was considered eccentric. Here I am doing and saying the same things I did then and I'm labeled senile.
--
Just you and me Kid (1979)George Burns
People think I'm eccentric, cranky. If I'm eccentric because I've never been into mainstream things, then I am eccentric.
Van Morrison
[Re Florida] Just not being senile is considered great down here.
John Updike
Young men have a passion for regarding their elders as senile.
Henry Adams
I now know that if you describe things as better as they are, you are considered to be romantic; if you describe things as worse than they are, you are called a realist; and if you describe things exactly as they are, you are called a satirist.
Quentin Crisp
Rugged! Rugged as Parnassus!
Rude, as all roads I have trod —
Yet are steeps and stone-strown passes
Smooth o'er head, and nearest God.Joaquin Miller
