Since
it is the Other within us who is old, it is natural
that the revelation of our age should come to us
from outside --from others. We do not accept it
willingly.
-- Simone De Beauvoir
1908-1986, French
Novelist, Essayist
We
grow neither better or worse as we get old, but more
like ourselves.
-- May L. Becker
We
lose our hair, our teeth! Our bloom, our ideals.
-- Samuel Beckett
1906-1989, Irish
Dramatist, Novelist
To
think, when one is no longer young, when one is not
yet old, that one is no longer young, that one is
not yet old, that is perhaps something.
-- Samuel Beckett
1906-1989, Irish
Dramatist, Novelist
