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

Old age is ready to undertake tasks that youth shirked because they would take too long.
W. Somerset Maugham

Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it.
Brigitte Bardot

What could be more beautiful than a dear old lady growing wise with age? Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it.
Brigitte Bardot

I love things that age well - things that don't date, that stand the test of time and that become living examples of the absolute best.
Giorgio Armani

Like everybody at that age, I read an awful lot of pulp fiction. But at the same time, I also read quite a bit of history and read that as much for pleasure as part of a curriculum.
John Hume

Old age is the most unexpected of all things that happen to a man.
Leon Trotsky

I refuse to age disgracefully in rock 'n' roll.
Ben Harper

With the song 'This Christmas' I wanted to do something that was kind of different. I mean, Donny Hathaway is an amazing artist. So I wanted to bring my flavor to the song so when people over the age of 45 or 50 hear it they'll be like 'OK, he did his thing with that record.' It's like I can appeal to everybody and not just a younger demographic.
Chris Brown

This is the first age that's ever paid much attention to the future, which is a little ironic since we may not have one.
Arthur C. Clarke

Change is the principal feature of our age and literature should explore how people deal with it. The best science fiction does that, head-on.
David Brin

Anyone that has come to America past the age of eighteen will be able to understand when I say that you can never shake your accent.
Martin Yan

Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically.
David Herbert Lawrence

Ours is an excessively conscious age. We know so much, we feel so little.
David Herbert Lawrence

Now is the age of anxiety.
W. H. Auden

Well, my son really loves wildlife. And everytime he draws a polar bear I want to tell him there probably won't any by the time... he's my age. That's kinda hard to deal with.
Thom Yorke

The class distinctions proper to a democratic society are not those of rank or money, still less, as is apt to happen when these are abandoned, of race, but of age.
W. H. Auden

Does age matter? Time doesn't matter.
Sandra Bullock

Some broad themes brought me where I am today. At a very young age, my hobby became thinking and finding connections.
Dean Kamen

But look, I was born in 1956, the peak year for births in US history. I think I'm very representative of many of the thought processes my generation have been through and, by and large, people of my age have had their imprint planted on the consciousness of western society for a long time.
Tom Hanks
