"Menjadi tua itu membosankan. Aku benci kekakuan di tulang. Secara fisik saya sombong selama bertahun-tahun. Saya tidak suka sekarang karena saya kesulitan berkeliling. Tapi keseimbangan batin muncul, detasemen tertentu. Hal-hal yang tampaknya tidak begitu penting daripada dulu, dan itu menyenangkan."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Mostly getting old is boring. I hate the stiffness in the bones. I was physically arrogant for years. I don't like it now that I have difficulty getting around. But a certain equanimity sets in, a certain detachment. Things seem less desperately important than they once did, and that's a pleasure.
