Quotes of Book: I'll Never Be Young Again

Daphne du Maurier _ I'll Never Be Young Again
The restlessness has gone, the indecision and also the great heights of exultation, the strange depths of desolation. I am secure now, and certain of myself. There is peace and contentment.
book-quote
Daphne du Maurier _ I'll Never Be Young Again
Once there had been a path across the mountains, and restlessness, and an urge to fight, and a dream of many women, and now there was a home that was my home, and peace, and relaxation, and no dreams but the reality of one woman. I did not know if it was I who had changed, or the world that had changed about me, but so it was, and I could not call back the dreams that had gone from me.
book-quote
Daphne du Maurier _ I'll Never Be Young Again
I wondered why I had ever despised these things, why they had once seemed pitiful and absurd. I wondered why the placidity of a home seemed necessary to me now, and why I no longer yearned for the turmoil of a ship upon the sea.

book-quote
Daphne du Maurier _ I'll Never Be Young Again

book-quote
Daphne du Maurier _ I'll Never Be Young Again
Jake, I don't want ever to be old. I want always to get up in the morning and feel there's something grand lying just ahead of me, round the corner, over a hill. I want always to feel that if I stand still, only for a minute, I'm missing something a few yards away. I don't want ever to find myself thinking: "What's the use of going across that street?" That's the end of everything, Jake, when looking for things doesn't count any more. When you sit back happily in a chair, content with what you've got - that's being old.' 'There's no need to get that way. It's your own thoughts that keep you young, Dick. And age hasn't anything to do with it. It's a question of your state of mind.

book-quote
Daphne du Maurier _ I'll Never Be Young Again
Impossible that they should live while I was no more a part of existence
book-quote
Daphne du Maurier _ I'll Never Be Young Again
It seemed strange that things could still be done to me after I was dead, that my body would perhaps be found and handled by people I should never know, that really a little life would go on about me which I should never feel.
book-quote
Daphne du Maurier _ I'll Never Be Young Again
When anyone talked about beauty in that way I knew they were doing it for effect. Perhaps she wanted me to think she was intelligent. She had only to open her mouth to show me she was not.
