Two Quotes of Consequence

"Old age is the most unexpected of all things that can happen to a man."

Leon Trotsky

I like that, but the quote has been misstated and erroneously attributed to Leo Tolstoy in a scene from the movie Elegy. I like the misquote better - it's more direct and hits a little harder:

1) "The biggest surprise in a man's life is old age."


2) "I wasted time, and now doth time waste me." 

William Shakespeare from Richard II

I printed these quotes in bold to really hammer them home. Turns out it was unnecessary.
