Herman Wouk wrote some pretty fine fiction and won a Pulitzer Prize.
After he celebrated his 100th birthday, his good words (from a WSJ article by Marc Myers)Â about life are worth a scan!
“when you reach my age, you don’t yearn for friends who are no longer here… I do have the same excitement each morning when I see the sun. Â That sense of enjoying being alive is still very real. Â When you reach 100, you’re glad you’re alive. Â Very glad.”
Atlantic and NPR also cited his longevity and good words:

Onward,
DF
