Quotes about Age
Age is a measure of how long something has been alive or has existed. It's given us the ability to study and learn from generations before us, and provides a framework for understanding what went before us. From an economic perspective, life expectancy is an important indicator of how old a population will grow over time.

Michael Caine"Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young."
J. K. Rowling"In this digital age, there is no place to hide behind public relations people. This digital age requires leaders to be visible and authentic and to be able to communicate the decisions they've made and why they've made them, to be able to acknowledge when they've made a mistake and to move forward, to engage in the debate."
Gail Kelly"A great age of literature is perhaps always a great age of translations."
Ezra Pound"I don't know what's happened to me. I've got a bit more sophisticated in my old age. I like a bit of jasmine tea. I love it."

Stan Lee"Everyone talks about age, but it's not about age. It's about work ethic. Winning never gets old."
Lisa Leslie"The Olympic Spirit is neither the property of one race nor of one age."

Keanu Reeves"The great secret that all old people share is that you really haven't changed in seventy or eighty years. Your body changes, but you don't change at all. And that, of course, causes great confusion."
Doris Lessing"I reached my full height at age 11, and I was clumsy as all get-out - all elbows and knees, couldn't get up a flight of stairs without falling down. I wanted to be a cute, petite blonde, but I'm a big ol' strapping thing, so I just accept it."

Hooman Majd"Another belief of mine; that everyone else my age is an adult, whereas I am merely in disguise."
Margaret Atwood"It's really amazing that in the age of unbelief, as a smart man called it, there isn't even more fraud. After all, with no God, there's no one to ever call you to account, and no accounting at all if you can get away with it."
Ben Stein"I remember, as a boy of 17 years of age, this was a fascinating thing for me: how we human beings breathe out carbon dioxide into the air, the leaves of plants pick this carbon dioxide up, and the plant gives off oxygen, which we can breathe in and keep our life going."
Percy Julian"I definitely got my philanthropic genes from my mom and dad. They taught me from a very early age to always lend a helping hand to anyone in need, and I hope to raise my daughter to be a very kind and charitable person."

June Whitfield"When you get to a certain age, there is no coming back."

Zsa Zsa Gabor"My love for ice cream emerged at an early age - and has never left!"
Ginger Rogers"'Bombing Afghanistan back into the Stone Age' was quite a favourite headline for some wobbly liberals. The slogan does all the work. But an instant's thought shows that Afghanistan is being, if anything, bombed out of the Stone Age."
Christopher Hitchens"The design process usually starts as a fantasy, with ideas that I dream of and visualize. These ideas become a reality by bringing various ingredients together, from the lifestyle of my bride, her age and sex appeal, to the textures of the finest fabrics and embroideries that we produce in my family factories in India."
Naeem Khan"I don't believe in happy endings, but I do believe in happy travels, because ultimately, you die at a very young age, or you live long enough to watch your friends die. It's a mean thing, life."
George Clooney"We are approaching a new age of synthesis. Knowledge cannot be merely a degree or a skill... it demands a broader vision, capabilities in critical thinking and logical deduction without which we cannot have constructive progress. -Li Ka"
shing"I don't need you to remind me of my age. I have a bladder to do that for me."
Stephen Fry"The finest lesson I've learned with age is that all I need is a small team of comrades who inspire me, try not to judge me, and remind me when I'm judging myself."

Elton John"People are so busy dreaming the American Dream, fantasizing about what they could be or have a right to be, that they're all asleep at the switch. Consequently we are living in the Age of Human Error."
Florence King"I have a fear of poverty in old age. I have this vision of myself living in a skip and eating cat food. It's because I'm freelance, and I've never had a proper job. I don't have a pension, and my savings are dwindling. I always thought someone would just come along and look after me."
Jenny Eclair"I feel so blessed that I grew up in the age of the independent woman, the survivor. I had Destiny's Child telling me I didn't need a man to feel good about myself, and I want to carry on that message."
Mabel"I became married at a young age and had two daughters and divorced at 26. I had to go on welfare to make ends meet. I had no way to support myself."

Malcolm Muggeridge"The shades of respectability begin to close about the greying head."

Robert Darnton"We should not be worried about age when it comes to love and attraction."
Monica Bellucci"But now in this day and age, people are more prone to go out to try new things to enhance their performance on the field - to enhance their physical appearance."
Bo Jackson"Our modern world, though infinitely more complex than that of ancient Greece, is also far more superficial. Where the Greeks offered simple psychological training, we live in an age of style and spin in which perceptions of good and evil slither and shift with the political view of the moment."
David Gemmell"Sometimes, people can be extraordinarily judgmental and closed-minded to anyone different or special, which is why it's so hard for young people in this day and age to be comfortable enough in their own skin to not listen to the people picking on them."
Ariana Grande"In this age of media and Internet access, we are much more talkative than ever before."
David Duchovny"I always sensed instinctively from the earliest age that I was being lied to."
Richard Linklater"From a young age, I learned to focus on the things I was good at and delegate to others what I was not good at. That's how Virgin is run. Fantastic people throughout the Virgin Group run our businesses, allowing me to think creatively and strategically."
Richard Branson"Iraq was home of the Abbasid Caliphate, a golden age when the Muslim world was at the forefront of math, science and medicine."
Richard Engel"The golden age has not passed; it lies in the future."
Paul Signac"One of the guiding beliefs of our consuming age is that we are all free and independent individuals. That we can choose to do pretty much what we want, and if we can't, then it's bad. But at the same time, co-existing alongside this, there is a completely different, parallel universe where we all seem meekly to do what those in power tell us to do."
Adam Curtis"After you're older, two things are possibly more important than any others: health and money."

Miguel de Unamuno"I don't think age matters. In cricket, if you have the skill, you can go on playing."
Dale Steyn"People gossip. People are insecure, so they talk about other people so that they won't be talked about. They point out flaws in other people to make them feel good about themselves. I think at any age or any social class, that's present."
Blake Lively"A lot of people say I am using all the procedures for my face. I didn't do anything. I live a healthy life; I take care of my skin and my body. I'm against Botox. I'm against injections; I think it's damaging your face, damaging your nerves. It's all me. I will age gracefully, as my mom does."
Melania Trump"The enemy of society is middle class and the enemy of life is middle age."
Orson Welles"If youth knew; if age could."

Z"The three touchstones that woke Buddha up - sickness, old age, and death - are a pretty good place to start when crafting a tragic tale. And if we need to get more specific: heartbreak, destruction, miscomprehension, natural disasters, betrayal, and the waste of human potential."
Paul Di Filippo"I believe that investing in our children's development from the earliest age is the single most important contribution we can make to the health and wellbeing of our citizens, their capacity and the future prosperity of our state."
Jay Weatherill"My position has always been that the way people age and the signs that we show of aging is nature's way of tattooing. It's natural scarification, and the life you lead gives you the symbols and the emblems of your life, the road map you followed."
Frances McDormand"There are only three things that can kill a farmer: lightning, rolling over in a tractor, and old age."
Bill Bryson"At a young age winning is not the most important thing... the important thing is to develop creative and skilled players with good confidence."

Dax Shepard"The harvest of old age is the recollection and abundance of blessing previously secured."
Marcus Tullius Cicero"I think the thing I miss most in our age is our manners. It sounds so old-fashioned in a way. But even bad people had good manners in the old days, and manners hold a community together, and manners hold a family together; in a way, they hold the world together."

Sharon Stone"People dance at any age."
Mikhail Baryshnikov"Older fatherhood isn't all bad: testosterone rates drop about 1% per year as men age, making them less reactive and more patient, and a professionally established middle-aged man is likely to have more time and money to devote to his kids than a twenty-something who's just getting started."
Jeffrey Kluger"When at a young age you learn to face your fears, that makes the difference between people being champions and people not being champions."
Evander Holyfield"People say that when you get to a certain age that you start to mellow. I have no idea what these people are talking about."
Rita Moreno"We are all shaped by where we grow up, though that shaping takes different forms. I don't think there's any doubt that coming of age in Winnipeg both opened my eyes and made me hungry - if I can subvert all claims to be a real writer by mixing metaphors like that."
Guy Gavriel Kay"For directors and producers, you're not going to get competent performers on your set if they didn't start at a young age and understand professionalism."
Jaleel White"I want everyone to know that they can accomplish anything they want at any age if they just be themselves. I want to encourage millions to chase their dreams and to never change. Everyone should also know how to throw a good right hook!"

Rajinikanth"If you live to be one hundred, you've got it made. Very few people die past that age."
George Burns"Architecture is always the will of the age conceived as space - nothing else. Until this simple truth is clearly recognized, the struggle over the foundation of a new architecture confident in its aims and powerful in its impact cannot be realized; until then, it is destined to remain a chaos of uncoordinated forces."
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe"Millennials regularly draw ire for their cell phone usage. They're mobile natives, having come of age when landlines were well on their way out and payphones had gone the way of dinosaurs. Because of their native fluency, Millennials recognize mobile phones can do a whole lot more than make calls, enable texting between friends or tweeting."
Chelsea Clinton"I strive for perfection, but I'm not perfect. But what I can say is my morals are totally different than any other 24-year-old rapper my age now. I look at life totally different. A whole other aspect. I have different views and morals on life in general. And opinions."
ASAP Rocky"I'm totally into new age and self-help books. I used to work in a bookstore and that's the section they gave me, and I got way into it. I just loved the power of positive thinking, letting yourself go."
Jason Mraz"The golden age is before us, not behind us."
Simon the Zealot"We live in an age of innovation, where digital technology is providing solutions to problems before we've even realised we needed them. We see it every day as we find new ways to travel, eat and shop."

Walter Savage Landor"You are the age of your spine. You are as flexible as your spine. That transfers to other areas of your life."
Diane Lane"Everyone in our clique rocks a black bandana with the print 'EST 19XX' on them 24/7. As the underdog, you are expected to lose or give up and 'wave the white towel,' so that is why our flag is black. We never give up - never surrender. EST means 'Everyone Stands Together.' The '19XX' is to represent any age."
Machine Gun Kelly"In this enlightened age, there are few I believe, but what will acknowledge, that slavery as an institution is a moral & political evil in any country. It is useless to expatiate on its disadvantages."
Robert E. Lee"When granted many years of life, growing old in age is natural, but growing old with grace is a choice. Growing older with grace is possible for all who will set their hearts and minds on the Giver of grace, the Lord Jesus Christ."
Billy Graham"The really frightening thing about middle age is the knowledge that you'll grow out of it."

Dwight L. Moody"Age merely shows what children we remain."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe"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."

George Burns"The closing years of life are like the end of a masquerade party, when the masks are dropped."
Cesare Pavese"Canada has a passive-aggressive culture, with a lot of sarcasm and righteousness. That went with my weird messianic complex. The ego is a fascinating monster. I was taught from a young age that I had to serve, so that turned into me thinking I had to save the planet."
Alanis Morissette"Positive emotion alienated from the exercise of character leads to emptiness, to inauthenticity, to depression, and, as we age, to the gnawing realization that we are fidgeting until we die."

Orhan Pamuk"I think women get caught up too much in having a plan - 'I'm going to get married at this age; I'm going to have a kid at this age' - and then they just try to find a guy who will fit into that picture. I don't want my life to be based on that."

Leo Howard"Cherish all your happy moments; they make a fine cushion for old age."

Tom Wilson"Whoever marries the spirit of this age will find himself a widower in the next."
William Inge"My dad is Dominican, my mother's Puerto Rican, and I got into bachata at the age of 10 or 11. When I started listening, it had a reputation for being music for hick people. I thought that had to be changed. I was born and raised in the Bronx, and I knew you make something cool if you're cool."
Romeo Santos"And I'm afraid, in this day and age, trust, which I count so, you know, I love loyalty. I love trust."

Christian Dior"One of the problems of modern society, or the post-Internet age, is that there are so many things bombarding us that we could care about. I think it's more important than ever to really get clear and focus on what's worth caring about and what's just noise or distraction."
Mark Manson"What use could the humanities be in a digital age? University students focusing on the humanities may end up, at least in their parents' nightmares, as dog-walkers for those majoring in computer science. But, for me, the humanities are not only relevant but also give us a toolbox to think seriously about ourselves and the world."
Nicholas Kristof"I got my first piercing at the age of 13, my first tattoo at the age of 15."

Knut Hamsun"As you age naturally, your family shows more and more on your face. If you deny that, you deny your heritage."
Frances Conroy"We should so provide for old age that it may have no urgent wants of this world to absorb it from meditation on the next. It is awful to see the lean hands of dotage making a coffer of the grave."
Pearl S. Buck"Thirty was so strange for me. I've really had to come to terms with the fact that I am now a walking and talking adult."
C. S. Lewis"To explain all nature is too difficult a task for any one man or even for any one age. 'Tis much better to do a little with certainty & leave the rest for others that come after you."
Isaac Newton"Being young isn't about age, it's about being a free spirit. You can meet someone of 20 who's boring and old, or you can meet someone of 70 who's youthful and exciting. I met Fred Astaire when he was 72 and I was 21, and I fell in love with him. He certainly was a free spirit."
Twiggy"In my view, product/market fit is the most important thing to get right as a startup entrepreneur. There's a variety of ways to do it, but without solving some pain point that the customer gets so excited about they tell their friends, it's really hard in the modern age to get any liftoff."
Scott Cook"In play, a child is always above his average age, above his daily behavior; in play, it is as though he were a head taller than himself."

Donovan"The human heart, at whatever age, opens only to the heart that opens in return."
Maria Edgeworth"Let us never know what old age is. Let us know the happiness time brings, not count the years."
Ausonius"Our uniqueness makes us special, makes perception valuable - but it can also make us lonely. This loneliness is different from being 'alone': You can be lonely even surrounded by people. The feeling I'm talking about stems from the sense that we can never fully share the truth of who we are. I experienced this acutely at an early age."
Amy Tan"A birthday is just another day where you go to work and people give you love. Age is just a state of mind, and you are as old as you think you are. You have to count your blessings and be happy."
Abhishek Bachchan"Every age has its storytelling form, and video gaming is a huge part of our culture. You can ignore or embrace video games and imbue them with the best artistic quality. People are enthralled with video games in the same way as other people love the cinema or theatre."
Andy Serkis"Nobody trusts anyone in authority today. It is one of the main features of our age. Wherever you look, there are lying politicians, crooked bankers, corrupt police officers, cheating journalists and double-dealing media barons, sinister children's entertainers, rotten and greedy energy companies, and out-of-control security services."
Adam Curtis"Fitness has nothing to do with age."
Virender Sehwag"A woman tells her doctor, 'I've got a bad back.' The doctor says, 'It's old age.' The woman says, 'I want a second opinion.' The doctor says: 'Okay - you're ugly as well.'"

Eduardo Galeano"My mom taught us the Serenity Prayer at a young age."
Toby Keith"It doesn't matter what color, sex, religion, age, sexual orientation, etc., everyone should have the same freedoms and liberties."

Lou Holtz"One of the nice things about getting older is that you come to understand that you can integrate multiple aspects of your life together. When you're young, you think everything has to be binary, as that's exactly how you feel at that age."
Min Jin Lee"Now is the age of anxiety."
W. H. Auden"Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternative."
Maurice Chevalier"With portable cameras and affordable data and non-linear digital editing, I think this is a golden age of documentary filmmaking. These new technologies mean we can make complicated, beautifully crafted and cinematic films about real-life stories."
Lucy Walker"It is a sobering thought that when Mozart was my age, he had been dead for two years."
Tom Lehrer"The age of a woman doesn't mean a thing. The best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles."

Johnson"There is a plan and a purpose, a value to every life, no matter what its location, age, gender or disability."

Ben Barnes"'Age' is the acceptance of a term of years. But maturity is the glory of years."
Martha Graham"I grew up in the age of polyester. When I got to touch real silk, cotton and velvet, the feel of nonsynthetic fabrics blew me away. I know it's important how clothing looks, but it's equally important how it feels on your skin."
Colleen Atwood"Especially in the digital age, people want everything now, now, now."
Mark Waid"At some point in every person's life, you will need an assisted medical device - whether it's your glasses, your contacts, or as you age and you have a hip replacement or a knee replacement or a pacemaker. The prosthetic generation is all around us."
Aimee Mullins"The formula for achieving middle-class success is simple: Finish high school; don't have a child before the age of 20; and get married before having the child."
Larry Elder"In the age of social media, everyone's a newspaper columnist, exaggerating what they think and feel."
Charlie Brooker"We have grown accustomed to the wonders of clean water, indoor plumbing, laser surgery, genetic engineering, artificial joints, replacement body parts, and the much longer lives that accompany them. Yet we should remember that the vast majority of humans ever born died before the age of 10 from an infectious disease."

What turns me on about the digital age, what excites me personally, is that you have closed the gap between dreaming and doing."

Bob Barker"I don't mind being older. I'm proud of my age. I've achieved a lot. It's the same thing with Mick and the Stones. They should be revered and respected. Isn't it strange that now we're living longer we have so much less respect for old age? Perhaps it's a less valuable commodity?"
Jerry Hall"I think age is a very high price to pay for maturity."
Tom Stoppard"I think you can make fun of anything except things people can't help. They can't help their race or their sex or their age, so you ridicule their pretension or their ego instead.
