Quotations on Age

The great secret that all

old people share is that

you really haven't changed

in 70 or 80 years. Your body

changes, but you don't change

at all.

Doris Lessing,
O Magazine, October 2003

The surprising thing about

young fools is how many

survive to become old fools.

Doug Larson

Though it sounds absurd,

it is true to say I felt

younger at sixty than I felt

at twenty.

Ellen Glasgow (1873 - 1945),
The Woman Within, 1954

The longer I live the more

beautiful life becomes.

Frank Lloyd Wright
(1869 - 1959)

It is a mistake to regard

age as a downhill grade

toward dissolution. The

reverse is true. As one

grows older, one climbs

with surprising strides.

George Sand (1804 - 1876)

Age is not a particularly

interesting subject. Anyone

can get old. All you have to

do is live long enough.

Groucho Marx (1890 - 1977)
