Notes
William James, Principles of Psychology, vol. 1 (New York: H. Holt, 1890), 625. The full sentence offers little encouragement for those of us hoping to age gracefully: “But as each passing year converts some of this experience into automatic routine which we hardly notice at all, the days and the weeks smooth themselves out into contentless units, and the years grow hollow and collapse.”

Dudziak, Wartime: An Idea, Its History, Its Consequences (New York: Oxford University Press, 2012); Barbara Myerhoff, Number Our Days: Culture and Community among Elderly Jews in an American Ghetto (New York: Meridian, 1994).
