Marianne Wiggins
"Maybe there are moments between any two adults in love when the age of one of them dissolves before the other's eyes, when the first refuge of the soul at its creation is laid bare and skinless as a sunbeam through a window. Innocence and vulnerability, two unmeasurable quantities...Perhaps that is the essence of the protection's intimacy, that it dwells in camouflage and justifies itself in stillness."

Age
A comfortable old age is the reward of a well-spent youth. Instead of its bringing sad and melancholy prospects of decay, it would give us hopes of eternal youth in a better world.
Maurice Chevalier
A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age.
Robert Frost
Advice in old age is foolish; for what can be more absurd than to increase our provisions for the road the nearer we approach to our journey's end.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
After thirty, a body has a mind of its own.
Bette Midler
Age considers; youth ventures.
Rabindranath Tagore
Age does not diminish the extreme disappointment of having a scoop of ice cream fall from the cone.
Jim Fiebig
Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.
Tom Stoppard
Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
Mark Twain
Age is not a particularly interesting subject. Anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough.
Don Marquis
All diseases run into one, old age.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have. The older she gets the more interested he is in her.
Agatha Christie
Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.
Henry Ford
As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body, but can never be so in mind.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
As long as any adult thinks that he, like the parents and teachers of old, can become introspective, invoking his own youth to understand the youth before him, he is lost.
Margaret Mead
Bashfulness is an ornament to youth, but a reproach to old age.
Aristotle
Economists report that a college education adds many thousands of dollars to a man's lifetime income - which he then spends sending his son to college.
Bill Vaughan
Every man over forty is a scoundrel.
George Bernard Shaw
Forty is the old age of youth; fifty the youth of old age.
Victor Hugo
Growing old is no more than a bad habit which a busy person has no time to form.
Andre Maurois
