Age Quotes

I had become conscious of my physicality, aware of my presence and open to the ugly truths of the world. At the age of thirteen, I realised that there was a danger in innocence and beauty, and I could not live with both Picture Quote #1

Our age of mechanization leads along a road ending with man himself as a machine. Only the spirit of singing can save us from this fate Picture Quote #1

The women ranged in age, but they were all old enough to know that in the currency of friendship, empathy is more valuable than accuracy Picture Quote #1

Beauty is highly desirable but simplicity and usefulness are the overwhelming fashion of our age. Just because it’s beautiful does not mean it’s useful Picture Quote #1

The foundations of any subject may be taught to anybody at any age in some form Picture Quote #1

The longer my career has gone, the more I seem to score... It’s experience and age and knowing where the ball’s going to be Picture Quote #1

Many have questioned the quality of this sort of achievement, deploring the use of pitons, tension traverses and expansion bolts, but the record speaks for itself. This is a technical age and climbers will continue in the future to look for new routes. There is nothing more satisfying than being a pioneer Picture Quote #1

... just because a guitar is old doesn’t make it good... I’ve seen guitars that were old but weren’t as good as the reissue... for me, it’s not the age that makes it happen, it’s the quality of the instrument Picture Quote #1

A lot has been written about my age and my injuries. A lot of people think I’m going to be 94. I’m actually 34 and I feel quite good. I’m sure the fans will judge me on what I do on the pitch, not what I say Picture Quote #1

I had the fortune or misfortune to learn how to read fluently starting at the age of three. So I had read maybe 150 books by the time I hit 1st grade. And I already knew that the teachers were lying to me Picture Quote #1

Most of these students are so conditioned to success that they become afraid to take risks. They have been taught from a young age by zealous parents, schools, and institutional authorities what constitutes failure and success. They are socialized to obey. They obsess over grades and seek to please professors, even if what professors teach is fatuous. The point is to get ahead, and getting ahead means deference to authority. Challenging authority is never a career advancer Picture Quote #1

True greatness, first of all, is a thing of the heart. It is alive with robust and generous sympathies. It is neither behind its age nor too far before it. It is up with its age, and ahead of it only just so far as to be able to lead its march. It cannot slumber, for activity is a necessity of its existence. It is no reservoir, but a fountain Picture Quote #1

I am a citizen of the world, and I have met, in my time, with so many different sorts of virtue, that I am puzzled, in my old age, to say which is the right sort and which is the wrong Picture Quote #1

At my age, I regard each funeral I attend as a personal triumph, because I was not the guest of honor Picture Quote #1

Darwin matters because evolution matters. Evolution matters because science matters. Science matters because it is the preeminent story of our age, an epic saga about who we are, where we came from and where we are going Picture Quote #1

Youth is the time of getting, middle age of improving, and old age of spending; a negligent youth is usually attended by an ignorant middle age, and both by an empty old age Picture Quote #1

I was a late developer and, at the age of 15, I almost thought of quitting football Picture Quote #1

I am considered an icon at the age of 20 when people like after 40s or after they die are considered icons. It’s just amazing! Picture Quote #1

I did things I should not have done. But people make mistakes, especially at my age, when you feel you are so smart, but in fact you are an asshole Picture Quote #1

I think what teenagers lack is the belief that they can be unique and extraordinary in life. Make the most of your age because you’re not going to be a teenager forever! Picture Quote #1

It is not necessary for the politician to be the slave of the public’s group prejudices, if he can learn how to mold the mind of the voters in conformity with his own ideas of public welfare and public service. The important thing for the statesman of our age is not so much to know how to please the public, but to know how to sway the public. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country Picture Quote #1

Fortunately science, like that nature to which it belongs, is neither limited by time nor by space. It belongs to the world, and is of no country and no age. The more we know, the more we feel our ignorance; the more we feel how much remains unknown Picture Quote #1

You can’t rewind war. It spools on, and on, and on, looping and jumping, distorted and cracked with age, and the stories contract until only the nuggets of hatred remain and no one can even remember, or imagine, why the war was organized in the first place Picture Quote #1

At a very young age I was allowed to go into the cinema and watch adult films Picture Quote #1

Books are a guide in youth, and an entertainment for age. They support us under solitude, and keep us from becoming a burden to ourselves. They help us to forget the crossness of men and things, compose our cares and our passions, and lay our disappointments asleep. When we are weary of the living, we may repair to the dead, who have nothing of peevishness, pride or design in their conversation Picture Quote #1

I have had a hard time settling on one medium and feel like a dilettante at times, taking up one medium and then wanting to learn to work in another. At age 76, I really don’t have the time to settle down to one medium when there are so many avenues to explore Picture Quote #1

People really don’t like to hear success explained away as luck, especially successful people. As they age and succeed, people feel their success was somehow inevitable. They don’t want to acknowledge the role played by accident in their lives. There’s a reason for this. The world doesn’t want to acknowledge it either. Don’t be deceived by life’s outcomes. Life’s outcomes, while not entirely random, have a huge amount of luck baked into them. Above all, recognize that you have had success, you have also had luck. And with luck comes obligation Picture Quote #1

The threat of a new ice age must now stand alongside nuclear war as a likely source of wholesale death and misery for mankind Picture Quote #1

What was the good of industrial development, what was the good of all the technological innovations, toil, and population movements if, after half a century of industrial growth, the condition of the masses was still just as miserable as before, and all lawmakers could do was prohibit factory labor by children under the age of eight?
