My health is good; it's my age that's bad.
The worst thing, I fear, about being no longer young is that one is no longer young.
I would agree on the aging thing. Because, at a certain point, once you start noticing it, it is your subject. And I know young that people, when they get to 30, say, "Oh, I'm so old." But actually, around 50, you do become conscious of it.
There's nothing worse than being an aging young person.
I see a guy getting old. I try to not look in the mirror too much.
Age is suspicious but is not itself often suspected.
Basically, when I'm writing something, I think about what is the subject of the piece. The subject of the piece is our fear of getting old, which is a variation on our fear of dying.
I didn't mind getting old when I was young. It's the being old now that's getting to me.
The danger to the country, to Europe, to her vast Empire, which is involved in having all these great interests entrusted to the shaking hand of an old, wild, and incomprehensible man of 82, is very great!
Boys must not have th' ambitious care of men, Nor men the weak anxieties of age.
