Eli Broad

“I will not retire while I've still got my legs and my make-up box.”
Bette Davis
“The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating......and you finish off as an orgasm.”
George Carlin
“Americans will listen, but they do not care to read. War and Peace must wait for the leisure of retirement, which never really comes: meanwhile it helps to furnish the living room.”
Anthony Burgess
“The boomers' biggest impact will be on eliminating the term 'retirement' and inventing a new stage of life, ... the new career arc.”
Rosabeth Moss Kanter
“As Greenspan retires, I shall retire my paintings of him and am ready to move on.”
