What makes old age hard to bear is not the failing of ones faculties, mental and physical, but the burden of ones memories. – W. Somerset Maugham

If youre old, dont try to change yourself, change your environment. – B. F. Skinner

The years teach much which the days never knew. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

It is old age, rather than death, that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is lifes parody, whereas death transforms life into a destiny: in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. Death does away with time. – Simone de Beauvoir
