![“Everything in this country [the US] has got to be good looks and unlined faces and thin bodies and people running around in skirts slit up to their ass. It has nothing to do with thinking or with being a human being. There is life in mature people; it's not all over at 24½.” quote by Lauren Bacall](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/1f0/lauren-bacall-2297_ass_everything-in-this-country-the-us-has-go_314596.jpg)
