There are three classes into which all the women past seventy that ever I knew were to be divided: 1. That dear old soul; 2. That old woman; 3. That old witch.

» Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) British author

It is old age, rather than death, that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is life's 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.

» Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) Austrian physician Founder of Psychoanalysis

The years between fifty and seventy are the hardest. You are always being asked to do things, and yet you are not decrepit enough to turn them down.

» Susan Sontag (1933-2004) American Writerand filmaker

The outer passes away; the innermost is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

» Thomas B. Macaulay (1800-1859) British historian, whig politician, essayist and poet

My only fear is that I may live too long. This would be a subject of dread to me.

» Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) British philosopher

These are the soul's changes. I don't believe in aging. I believe in forever altering one's aspect to the sun. Hence my optimism.

» Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) Dutch painter

There is nothing more despicable than an old man who has no other proof than his age to offer of his having lived long in the world.

» Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) British poet, critic, and philosopher

Since it is the Other within us who is old, it is natural that the revelation of our age should come to us from outside -from others. We do not accept it willingly.

» Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) Austrian physician Founder of Psychoanalysis

I don't believe one grows older. I think that what happens early on in life is that at a certain age one stands still and stagnates.

» Susan Sontag (1933-2004) American Writerand filmaker

Old age is not a matter for sorrow. It is matter for thanks if we have left our work done behind us.

» Thomas B. Macaulay (1800-1859) British historian, whig politician, essayist and poet

Forty is the old age of youth, fifty is the youth of old age.

» Umberto Eco (1932-?) Italian novelist, semiotician, essayist, philosopher and critic

At 46 one must be a miser; only have time for essentials.

» Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) Dutch painter

As for old age, embrace and love it. It abounds with pleasure if you know how to use it. The gradually declining years are among the sweetest in a man's life, and I maintain that, even when they have reached the extreme limit, they have their pleasure sti

» Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) British poet, critic, and philosopher

Old age realizes the dreams of youth: look at Dean Swift; in his youth he built an asylum for the insane, in his old age he was himself an inmate.

No man was ever so completely skilled in the conduct of life, as not to receive new information from age and experience.

The value of old age depends upon the person who reaches it. To some men of early performance it is useless. To others, who are late to develop, it just enables them to finish the job.

» Thomas H. Huxley (1825-1895) English biologist

When grace is joined with wrinkles, it is adorable. There is an unspeakable dawn in happy old age.

» Umberto Eco (1932-?) Italian novelist, semiotician, essayist, philosopher and critic

Now, aged 50, I'm just poised to shoot forth quite free straight and undeflected my bolts whatever they are.

» Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) Dutch painter
