Saint Mochua was the son of a certain Cronan, of noble race, and spent his youth in fighting.

I’ve always admired Gene Hackman, Jack Lemmon, Jimmy Stewart, Gregory Peck. I’m showing my age here. – Tim DeKay
I had, in college, a professor called Walter Jackson Bate, and he taught a course called The Age of Johnson. It’s about Samuel Johnson and his period, 18th-century British writing. So we all got to endure Samuel Johnson, and Boswell’s ‘Life of Johnson’ is now my favorite book. I read it all the time I can; it’s great for going to sleep. – Whit Stillman
‘Leave It to Beaver,’ which ran from 1957 until 1963, was one of the strangest, sweetest, most distinctive domestic sitcoms of television’s celebrated Golden Age. – Tom Shales

Age makes all things greater after their death; a name comes to the tongue easier from the grave. – Sextus Propertius
I got a part in a package of commercials for this big drugstore from the age of 6 to 10. For four years I shot those commercials, and old ladies would stop me on the street and grab my cheeks. That’s how it started. – Xavier Dolan
Technology is a nerdy field. That’s why I called myself a ‘geek.’ It requires a lot of training and encouragement at a very young age. – Weili Dai
I think that the memory of Armenia’s genocide opened my eyes at an early age to the existence of political cynicism. – Serj Tankian
You can’t legislate or litigate good, healthy behavior but we must be willing to educate people at an early age about the affects of unhealthy living. – Zack Wamp
Like so many others, I came to romance during the golden age of it – Judith McNaught, Julie Garwood, Johanna Lindsey and Jude Deveraux were at the height of their historical domination. Without those women, I wouldn’t be a romance novelist. – Sarah MacLean
I knew from a young age that I could sing and it was impressed upon me that if I got a classically trained education in voice, it would serve as a foundation for whatever I chose to do. – Shuler Hensley

I wrote my first play at the age of 10, 55 years ago, and I’ve always found it a fantastic relief to imagine I know what things would be like from the point of view of other individuals and to send out signals from where I actually am not.

I used to dress like Roger Taylor when I was ten because I thought he was cool. In high school, I used to dress like Stephen Perkins from Jane’s Addiction because I thought he was cool. You just want to be those guys when you’re that age. – Taylor Hawkins
Just this morning, out of a large memory for songs, and having been obsessed by them since childhood, suddenly, at the age of 84, I thought of a song I hadn’t thought of in over 50 years. It came into my head unbidden. – Tom Glazer
