Mick Dropping Knowledge

I always enjoy Mick LaSalle's movie critiques in the SF Chronicle. I even dial into his podcast once in a while. Though I would share a little post he did on his blog. It's a little cheesy, but hey, so am I.

Here's a small excerpt:
The great and persistent mistake of middle age is to look in the places where splendor used to be and, not finding it, conclude that splendor is disappearing.

And the great and persistent mistake of old age is to look around and think there's no splendor in the world because you don't understand the disguise that splendor happens to be wearing in the present era.
