QUOTES ON AGE

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"
