Age Quotes (page 72)

But still, it looked completely natural, as if we had been kissing at the ends of sentences for ages, while the rest of the world was still hung up on punctuation. Jodi Picoult
Life should begin with age and it's privileges and accumulations, and end with youth and it's capacity to splendidly enjoy such advantages. Mark Twain
For that moment at least they seemed to give up external plans, theories, and codes, even the inescapable romantic curiosity about one another, to indulge in being simply and purely young, to share that sense of the world's affliction, that outgoing sorrow at the spectacle of Our Human Condition which anyone this age regards as reward or gratuity for having survived adolescence. Thomas Pynchon

Don't you see? I'm not the spirit of any age. I'm at odds with everything and always have been! I have never belonged anywhere with anyone at any time! Anne Rice
Indeed, the idea that doubt can be heroic, if it is locked into a structure as grand as that of the paintings of Cezanne's old age, is one of the keys to our century. A touchstone of modernity itself. Robert Hughes
Stranger, pause and look; From the dust of ages. Lift this little book, Turn the tattered pages, Read me, do not let me die! Search the fading letters finding. Steadfast in the broken binding. All that once was I! Edna St. Vincent Millay

Karl Marx
Dean Koontz quote: "Guilt is a tireless horse. Grief ages into sorrow, and sorrow..."
Guilt is a tireless horse. Grief ages into sorrow, and sorrow is an enduring rider. Dean Koontz
Above or Love, Hope, Hate or Fear, It lives all passionless and pure: An age shall fleet like earthly year; Its years in moments shall endure. Away, away, without a wing, O'er all, through all, its thought shall fly; A nameless and eternal thing, Forgetting what it was to die. George Byron
Our shouting is louder than our actions, Our swords are taller than us, This is our tragedy. In short. We wear the cape of civilisation. But our souls live in the stone age Nizar Qabbani
Eleanor Roosevelt quote: "I could not at any age be content to take my place in a corner..."
I could not at any age be content to take my place in a corner by the fireside and simply look on. Eleanor Roosevelt
You couldn't get hold of the things you'd done and turn them right again. Such a power might be given to the gods, but it was not given to women and men, and that was probably a good thing. Had it been otherwise, people would probably die of old age still trying to rewrite their teens. Stephen King
Maurice Chevalier quote: "I prefer old age to the alternative."
I prefer old age to the alternative. Maurice Chevalier
There have been times when a particularly heavy dose of such cynicism has caused me to reflect that surely this is the age and place of the gifted pickle sucker! Gordon B. Hinckley
