Chess For Oldtimers --- Part II

heard an interesting quote today.

"We are prisoners of our own experiences"

Anyone know who said that or what the exact quote might be or in what context it was said?

Thanks for the post PoolPlayerTwo, interesting quote. 

As we get older the invitations that we get will often change as well. When we visit people in our younger years they might say: " Come in and sit down and take a load off ". What do we get when we get older ? " Come in and sit down before you fall down " (yup kinda sad ).   

In March I became a Granny for the 1st time. It amuses me to hear my son saying the same things to his daughter that I used to say to him eg Shall we do the windies now ? or Come on smelly bum let's get you changed. The clock seems to go back 30 years.

Thanks for the nice post Pam234.

   ---   In my threads on the passing of time that happens to all of us there have been a lot of funny quotes however this item from Thomas Mann is quite true ( and also scary too  lol ).

I agree badenwurtca. A sobering thought! Thanks.

Thanks a lot for your help Pam234, trolls everywhere   lol.

My pleasure. Don't like trolls. They spoil a lot of interesting forums like this one.

Thanks for the post Pam234.

An interesting quote from Arthur Schopenhauer: " The closing years of life are like the end of a masquerade party, when the masks are dropped. " 

Today we have a very short quote that is still interesting however: " In youth we learn, in age we Understand " ( from Marie Ebner-Eschenbach ).  

Nice quotes.

Thanks for the post Pam234.

A cute quote from Federico Fellini: " Life is the combination of magic and pasta, of fantasy and of reality ".

I lie that!

Thanks for the post Pam234.

Typpo; I like that!
