Senior citizens have never gone gentle into that good night: they live life to the fullest, take on new challenges, and show the world how to grow old disgracefully This sparkling collection of saying and quips proves that the stereotypes of knitting grannies and doddering granddads couldn't be farther from the truth. With a vast assortment of topics addressed--among them life, love, the universe, and Viagra--these quotes are simultaneously hilarious and pithy, and prove Maurice Chevalier right when he said that old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternative.
