Henry Miller

The wisdom of age constitutes the ability to accept reality, which is the knowledge of certain death--substantial, personal, individual extinction. It no longer seeks to disguise the fundamental cruelty and terror of life because it is too weary for further struggle. It is not the acceptance of destiny so much, as the succumbing to it... It's not pessimism but a joyous acceptance of life!

Henry Miller
