" But as for the rest of you, sisters, when anyone says to you, this, that or the other is natural, then fight. Nature does not know best; for the birds, for the bees, for the cows; for men, perhaps.

He has managed to get past seventy without going doolally, getting depressed, splashed by nerve poison, changing his nature, trusting demented therapists, chasing after little girls as some men do, forgetting to zip up his flies, dribbling his food, champing false teeth, shuffling in slippers, quarreling with neighbours, cursing his enemies, shaking his fist Lear-like at the skies: all the things — Wanda is quite right — that men tend to do as they get older. "
