“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
“As Greenspan retires, I shall retire my paintings of him and am ready to move on.”

“In my deepest troubles, I frequently would wrench myself from the persons around me and retire to some secluded part of our noble forests.”

“They were aware they were in trouble in terms of retirement, but they still weren't ready to face reality.”

“Everyone keeps asking, 'When's John going to retire? Is this a retirement party?' and I tell them what's the difference, ... (Assistant General Manager Bernie Cooper) runs the town anyway.”
