Staid middle age loves the hurricane passions of opera.

Middle age went by while I was mourning for my lost youth.

In passing, we should note this curious mark of our own age: the only absolute allowed is the absolute insistence that there is no absolute.

It's not catastrophes, murders, deaths, diseases, that age and kill us it's the way people look and laugh, and run up the steps of omnibuses.

Not even old age knows how to love death.

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.

I think that a man should not live beyond the age when he begins to deteriorate, when the flame that lighted the brightest moment of his life has weakened.

Temper never mellows with age, and a sharp tongue is the only edged tool that grows keener with constant use.

It is not by the gray of the hair that one knows the age of the heart.

I think the sport of wrestling, which I became involved with at the age of 14... I competed until I was 34, kind of old for a contact sport. I coached the sport until I was 47. I think the discipline of wrestling has given me the discipline I have to write.
