Wise & Otherwise | Funny Quotes About Getting Older Coloring Book for Adults — 30 Pages to Color

Seller's description

Wise & Otherwise is a printable coloring book for adults about the best plot twist there is: getting older. Fifteen famous quotes about age from the classic wits alternate with fifteen fresh sayings — and the house rule is strict: nothing negative. No decline, no dread — proof that getting older only gets funnier.

On the famous side, Mark Twain says wrinkles should merely indicate where the smiles have been, and Oscar Wilde admires the London ladies who have remained thirty-five for years. Seneca says old age is full of pleasure if you know how to use it, Francis Bacon toasts old wood, old wine, old friends and old authors, and Lewis Carroll can't go back to yesterday because he was a different person then. Ralph Waldo Emerson, William Shakespeare, Cicero, Bronson Alcott, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Confucius and Montaigne keep the company — and Robert Browning closes the book: "Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be."

On the sayings side, it's the bright side of the birthday count: a nap isn't giving up, it's a strategy; bingo night is an extreme sport; gray hair is just free highlights; and dessert isn't a temptation — it's a plan.

Every quote and saying is set in big, wide letters filled with flowing Zentangle-style collage to color — paisley swirls, feathers, leaves, mandala rings, waves and teardrops, a different mix on every page — so you color the words themselves, with a small spot illustration on every page.

Every page is single-sided — a blank page sits behind each design, so markers won't bleed onto the next picture — and the pages print cleanly on US Letter (8.5 x 11 in) or A4. Print the whole book or just your favorites, as many times as you like for personal use.

Settle in with a sharp pencil — the best is yet to be.
