How young can you die of old age?
Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.

In this media-drenched, multitasking, always-on age, many of us have forgotten how to unplug and immerse ourselves completely in the moment. We have forgotten how to slow down.

The terror of the atom age is not the violence of the new power but the speed of man’s adjustment to it, the speed of his acceptance.
