I truly believe that age -- if you're healthy -- age is just a number.
HUGH HEFNER, interview, Apr. 8, 2006
Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.
TOM STOPPARD, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead
- What is the worst of woes that wait on age?
- What stamps the wrinkle deeper on the brow?
- To view each loved one blotted from life's page,
- And be alone on earth, as I am now.
LORD BYRON, Childe Harold
- If the Fleeting World is but a long dream,
- It does not matter whether one is young or old.
BAI JUYI, "At the End of Spring"
- Age overtakes us all;
- Our temples first; then on o'er cheek and chin,
- Slowly and surely, creep the frosts of Time.
- Up and do somewhat, ere thy limbs are sere.
THEOCRITUS, "The Love of Thyonichus"
