The
misery of the middle-aged woman is a gray and
hopeless thing, born of having nothing to live for,
of disappointment and resentment at having been
gypped by consumer society, and surviving merely to
be the butt of its unthinking scorn.
-- Germaine Greer
1939-, Australian
Feminist Writer
You're
only young once, but you can be immature forever.
-- John Greier
It
really costs me a lot emotionally to watch myself
on-screen. I think of myself, and feel like I'm
quite young, and then I look at this old man with
the baggy chins and the tired eyes and the receding
hairline and all that.
-- Gene Hackman
1930-, American Actor
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 Hardy
1840-1928, British
