Old Age Quotes (page 5)

I want to grow old without facelifts... I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I've made. Sometimes I think it would be easier to avoid old age, to die young, but then you'd never complete your life, would you? You'd never wholly know you. Marilyn Monroe
I, an old man, have written this fire report. Among other things, it was important to me, as an exercise for old age, to enlarge my knowledge and spirit so I could accompany young men whose lives I might have lived on their way to death. I have climbed where they climbed, and in my time I have fought fire and inquired into its nature. In addition, I have lived to get a better understanding of myself and those close to me, many of them now dead. Perhaps it is not odd, at the end of this... Norman Maclean
It was Carrot who'd suggested to the Patrician that hardened criminals should be given the chance to 'serve the community' by redecorating the homes of the elderly, lending a new terror to old age and, given Ankh-Morpork's crime rate, leading to at least one old lady having her front room wallpapered so many times in six months that now she could only get in sideways. Terry Prachett
On the day I swore to uphold the Hippocratic oath, the small hairs on the back of my neck stood up as I waited for lightning to strike. Who was I, vowing calmly among all these necktied young men to steal life out of nature's jaws, every old time we got half a chance and a paycheck?... I could not accept the contract: that every child born human upon this earth comes with a guarantee of perfect health and old age clutched in its small fist. Barbara Kingsolver
So she sat down to morning tea, like any other old lady with a high nose, thin cheeks, a ring on her finger and the usual trappings of rather shabby but gallant old age... Virginia Woolf
Dolly Parton quote: "I don't know what the big deal is about old age. Old people..."
I don't know what the big deal is about old age. Old people who shine from the inside look 10 to 20 years younger. Dolly Parton
Dorothy Canfield Fisher quote: "Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age,..."
Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young. Dorothy Canfield Fisher
The tendency of old age to the body, say the physiologists, is to form bone. It is as rare as it is pleasant to meet with an old man whose opinions are not ossified. Bob Wells
Rosalyn S. Yalow quote: "The excitement of learning separates youth from old age. As..."
The excitement of learning separates youth from old age. As long as you're learning you're not old. Rosalyn S. Yalow
To be old is to be part of a huge and ordinary multitude... the reason why old age was venerated in the past was because it was extraordinary. Ronald Blythe
Francois de La Rochefoucauld quote: "It is with an old love as it is with old age a man lives to..."
It is with an old love as it is with old age a man lives to all the miseries, but is dead to all the pleasures. Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Francis Bacon quote: "I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years..."
I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am. Francis Bacon
He looks at Mama out of the corner of his eye, again surprised by how little she is. As if all of her life has been a slow process of shrinkage. But just what is that shrinkage? Is it the real shrinkage of a person abandoning his adult dimensions and starting on the long journey through old age and death toward distances where there is only a nothingness without dimension? Milan Kundera
Moving is both liberating and debilitating. Undertaken too late, it is a very stressful process, one that sometimes seems to catapult people into frail old age, and undertaken too soon, it may preempt other possibilities. [p. 38] Mary Catherine Bateson
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
