  • Aging Quote #1

    A tree with red leaves is like an old man with gray hair. Likewise, my love for you was blue, but now it’s orange, and that’s a compliment.

    Jarod Kintz

  • Aging Quote #2

    A twenty-three-year-long study in Ohio determined that people who saw growing older as something positive lived a whopping seven and a half years longer than those who didn’t. (356)

    Victoria Moran

  • Aging Quote #3

    A useful education served women best, More thought. To ‘learn how to grow old gracefully is perhaps one of the rarest and most valuable arts which can be taught to a woman.’ Yet, when beauty is all that is expected or desired in a woman, she is left with nothing in its absence. It ‘is a most severe trail for those women to be called to lay down beauty, who have nothing else to take up. It is for this sober season of life that education should lay up its rich resources,’ she argued.

    Karen Swallow Prior

  • Aging Quote #4

    A wedding is allegedly one of the most wondrous experiences in a woman’s life. All attending her presence are to make the occasion completely about her. Her beauty in that sliver of time is to be suspended in eternity so that ten years, thirty pounds and two kids later, she may sigh at the princess she once was.

    Kenn Bivins

  • Aging Quote #5

    Accepting one's age and mortality is a sign that you've now become an adult. Once you realize you no longer fit in the same jeans you did when you were 30, and the spicy foods you loved when you were younger now like to revisit you at 2 AM, you come to realize that with aging comes adjustment. And, aging isn't a bad thing - it sure beats the alternative!

    James Arlen Dennis

  • Aging Quote #6

    Adventures are important things in our life, to forget about our aging.

    Nagendra Kumar Yeminedi

  • Aging Quote #7

    After 25 the only thing you’ll be precocious at is death.

    Patricia L. Steffy

  • Aging Quote #8

    After all these years, his best friend is malaria.
    Even on the brink of an Alaska summer, it comes calling: a bone-deep chill one night, a ministry of sweat the next. Calling him back to old battles.

    Louis Bayard

  • Aging Quote #9

    Age and illness made one a dualist

    Ursula K. Le Guin

  • Aging Quote #10

    Age did not have to prohibit or inhibit a woman’s ability to make money or a living. Age did not diminish a woman’s usefulness as a self-employed person or entrepreneur. Age did not limit the ways in which a woman made money through self-employment or entrepreneurship.

    Robin Caldwell

  • Aging Quote #11

    Age doesn't arrive slowly, it comes in a rush. One day nothing has changed, a week later, everything has. A week may be too long a time, it can happen overnight. You are the same and still the same and suddenly one morning two distinct lines, ineradicable, have appeared at the corners of your mouth.

    James Salter

  • Aging Quote #12

    Age had drained the color from her eyes the way darkness drains the color from everything

    Brielle A. Marino

  • Aging Quote #13

    Age had not made him less handsome, as is so often the case; it had simply made him less visible.

    Orhan Pamuk

  • Aging Quote #14

    Age has given me what I was looking for my entire life - it has given me me . It has provided time and experience and failures and triumphs and time-tested friends who have helped me step into the shape that was waiting for me. I fit into me now. I have an organic life, finally, not necessarily the one people imagined for me, or tried to get me to have. I have the life I longed for. I have become the woman I hardly dared imagine I would be.

    Anne Lamott

  • Aging Quote #15

    Aging and its evidence remain life's most predictable events, yet they also remain matters we prefer to leave unmentioned, unexplored.

    Joan Didion

  • Aging Quote #16

    Aging and the prospect of dying by no means enhance the attractiveness of fictitious comforts to come in paradise, or the veracity of malicious myths about hellfire and damnation. Fear and feeblemindedness cannot be credibly pressed into service to support fantastic claims about the cosmos and our ultimate destiny.

    Whether one would even consider turning to religion in advanced years has much to do with upbringing, which makes all the more important standing up to the presumptions of the religious in front of children. One would regard the Biblical events – a spontaneously igniting bush, a sea’s parting, human parthenogenesis, a resurrected prophet and so on – that supposedly heralded God’s intervention in our affairs as the stuff of fairy tales were it not for the credibility we unwittingly lend them by keeping quiet out of mistaken notions of propriety.

    Jeffrey Tayler

  • Aging Quote #17

    Aging is a mortal term that my immortal spirit doesn't quite grasp.

    Richelle E. Goodrich

  • Aging Quote #18

    Aging is harder for beautiful people, and Anna was beautiful.

    Marina Keegan

  • Aging Quote #19

    Aging is tedious, but it is the only way to live long.

    Faina Ranevskaya

  • Aging Quote #20

    Aging offers certain rewards that youth cannot. It represents the culmination of our efforts in building self-knowledge, families, friendships, careers, and the sense of self that comes from facing whatever adversity we may have encountered. Aging is to be honored. Youth certainly has its own set of rewards, but to dwell on them to the exclusion of those that come later in life causes a stagnation of the self. It keeps us from experiencing an appreciation of living an entire (ital) life, not just the beginning. When we're really old we will likely measure our lives by how well we loved, how well we were loved, and by what we created, whether that be family, work, art, or friendships. Even if we have chosen to have them, we will probably not measure our lives collagen injection by collagen injection.

    Joyce T. McFadden

  • Aging Quote #21

    All are dead, and ourselves left alone amidst a new generation whom we know not, and who know us not.

    Thomas Jefferson

  • Aging Quote #22

    All things left her, all
    But one. Her highborn courtliness
    Accompanied her to the end,
    Beyond the rapture and its eclipse,
    In a way like an angel's. Of Elvira
    The first thing that I saw - such years ago -
    Was her smile and also it was the last.

    Jorge Luis Borges

  • Aging Quote #23

    Almost as soon as it was lit it began to sound as though it were running down, but in fact it would continue to run down for a long time. He knew the feeling.

    John Crowley

  • Aging Quote #24

    alone in this city, alone on this sea. The days were strewn about him, he was a drunkard of days. He had achieved nothing. He had his life--it was not worth much--not like a life that, though ended, had truly been something. If I had had courage,he thought, if I had had faith. We preserve ourselves as if that were important, and always at the expense of others. We hoard ourselves. We succeed if they fail, we are wise if they are foolish, and we go onward, clutching, until there is no one--we are left with no companion save God. In whom we do not believe. Who we know does not exist.

    James Salter

  • Aging Quote #25

    America isn't breaking apart at the seams. The American dream isn't dying. Our new racial and ethnic complexion hasn't triggered massive outbreaks of intolerance. Our generations aren't at each other's throats. They're living more interdependently than at any time in recent memory, because that turns out to be a good coping strategy in hard times. Our nation faces huge challenges, no doubt. So do the rest of the world's aging economic powers. If you had to pick a nation with the right stuff to ride out the coming demographic storm, you'd be crazy not to choose America, warts and all.

    Pew Research Center

  • Aging Quote #26

    An important aspect of the ebbing of sex was that other things became interesting. Sex obliterates the individuality of young women more often than it does that of young men, because so much more of a woman than a man is used by sex.

    Diana Athill

  • Aging Quote #27

    An old man with overalls walked by; I don't think old people should wear overalls; it makes them look like shrivelly toddlers.

    Aimee Bender

  • Aging Quote #28

    And I'm not going to get any thinner or any younger, my ass is going to hit the ground, if it hasn't already--and I want to be with somebody who can still see me in here. I'm still in here. And I don't want to be resented or despised for changing...I'd rather be alone.

    Zadie Smith

  • Aging Quote #29

    And like most middle-aged people who hear the clock ticking in their lives, I had come to resent a waste or theft of my time that was greater than any theft of my goods or money.

    James Lee Burke

  • Aging Quote #30

    And since a more convincing argument could not be found—aside from a fatal accident or suicide—this way was chosen: a process of galloping senescence.

    Mircea Eliade
