...it is so silly of people to fancy that old age means crookedness and witheredness and feebleness and sticks and spectacles and rheumatism and forgetfulness! It is so silly!

Robert Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Earl of LyttonI just remember seventh grade as being really difficult, because there's nothing meaner than a girl at that age. You gang up on people, and it's traumatic.

Fret not. Go forward into the realm which stretches before you; climb the highest mountain you can reach, and plant a cross there. The nations will come up to it some day. Work for immortality if you will; then wait for it. If your own age fail to recognize you, a coming age will not.

These patterns are best acquired at an early age and need to be quite well developed by late elementary school or twelve or thirteen years of age.

Mario BalotelliI don't have that many days left," he said as we sat together in the library. "Why would I want to spend them on matters of drainage and overdue accounts?

Kim AlexisThere is age discrimination, but I think there are two kinds. One is when the employer is discriminating for specific reasons and doing it intentionally. The other is where you have managers who really aren't looking to discriminate but feel a little on edge because the candidate they're talking to is older. Sometimes they can even smell age concern on the part of the candidate and they wind up discriminating almost unconsciously.
Nick CorcodilosWith actors, all our ages are out there for all to see - you can't hide anything, really. And it's kind of a relief. This is my age, this is what I look like without makeup on - who cares? That youth culture - that lying about your age - it's all denial of death anyway.

Deepak ChopraA lot of college graduates approach me about becoming screenwriters. I tell them, 'Do not become a screenwriter, become a journalist,' because journalists go into worlds that are not their own.

At the age of twenty-three they haven't produced anything, and that's the end of the career.

Clive OwenOh and I thought, as i was dressing, how interesting it would be to describe the approach of age, and the gradual coming of death. As people describe love.
