Age

My idea of Hell is to be young again.
-Marge Piercy

-James Thurber

It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who have lost it.
-W. Somerset Maugham

Youth has no age.
-Pablo Picasso

I want to die young at a ripe old age.
-Ashley Montagu

None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.
-Henry David Thoreau

-Pearl S. Buck

People like you and I, though mortal of course like everyone else, do not grow old no matter how long we live...[We] never cease to stand like curious children before the great mystery into which we were born.
-Albert Einstein, letter to Otto Juliusburger

We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.
-Anais Nin

Age does not protect you from love, but love to some extent protects you from age.
-Jeanne Moreau
