Age Quotes (page 23)

I believe I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage. I've found that just surviving is a noble fight. I once believed in causes too; I had my pointless points of view. And life went on no matter who as wrong or right. Billy Joel
At all ages, if [fantasy and myth] is used well by the author and meets the right reader, it has the same power: to generalize while remaining concrete, to present in palpable form not concepts or even experiences but whole classes of experience, and to throw off irrelevancies. Bat at its best it can do more; it can give us experiences we have never had and thus, instead of 'commenting on life,' can add to it. C. S. Lewis
Lyric poets are always corrupting the young, making them choke in self-pity and indulge in reverie. Dirty sex and direspect for authority is what they have been whispering into their ears for ages. Charles Simic
Authority is supposedly grounded in wisdom, but I could see from a very early age that authority was only a system of control and it didn't have any inherent wisdom. I quickly realised that you either became a power or you were crushed Joe Strummer
In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own. Thomas Jefferson

Virginia Woolf quote: "I don't believe in aging. I believe in forever altering one's..."
I don't believe in aging. I believe in forever altering one's aspect to the sun. Virginia Woolf
J. P. Donleavy quote: "See all the women seated, youth in their face lifts, old age..."
See all the women seated, youth in their face lifts, old age in their hands. J. P. Donleavy
They are not brave, the days when we are twenty-one. They are full of little cowardices, little fears without foundation, and one is so easily bruised, so swiftly wounded, one falls to the first barbed word. To-day, wrapped in the complacent armour of approaching middle age, the infinitesimal pricks of day by day brush one but lightly and are soon forgotten, but then—how a careless word would linger, becoming a fiery stigma, and how a look, a glance over a shoulder, branded themselves as... Daphne du Maurier
On the one hand maybe I’ve remained infantile, while on the other I matured quickly, because at a young age I was very aware of suffering and fear. Audrey Hepburn
What I want to know is, in the Middle Ages, did they do anything for Housemaid's Knee? What did they put in their hot baths after jousting? H. G. Wells
Oscar Wilde quote: "The ages live in history through their anachronisms."
The ages live in history through their anachronisms. Oscar Wilde
[R]aging crime, class warfare, invasive immigrants, light morals, public misbehavior. Always we convince ourselves that the parade of unwelcome and despised is a new phenomenon, which is why the phrase "the good old days" has passed from clich to self-parody. A. Whitney Brown
Gloria Steinem quote: "Women may be the one group that grows more radical with age."
Women may be the one group that grows more radical with age. Gloria Steinem
