Old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.
Take Jonathan Franzen's work: it's just old wine in new bottles. They say he's the Tolstoy of the digital age, but there can only be a Tolstoy of the Tolstoyan age.
Age appears to be best in four things; old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.
I'm like old wine. They don't bring me out very often - but I'm well preserved.
