Older Quotes

I think, for me, personally, I try to be sensitive to issues as I learn about them. And I also try to constantly become not only a certain type of person but also become more in tune to the issues I’m covering. As I get older, I think that things just affect me more Picture Quote #1

I would say that as I’ve gotten older, I trust my intuition more; I allow myself more freedom both musically, creatively and my own life existentially Picture Quote #1

It’s not true that we lose our creative genius when we grow older, but we grow older because we forget to use our creative genius Picture Quote #1

Most people don’t grow up. It’s too damn difficult. What happens is most people get older. That’s the truth of it. They honor their credit cards, they find parking spaces, they marry, they have the nerve to have children, but they don’t grow up Picture Quote #1

If you look at the practice of ‘crisis management,’ and maybe squint at it a little, you can make out in the corners of your vision the ghosts or the vestiges of a much older, but still thoroughly American, form of public life, one centered not on public opinion but on religion Picture Quote #1

I grew up in the Southwest Bronx. Father an accountant, mother a schoolteacher. Brother was six years older, which explains why I gobbled crystal meth at 12, smoked hashish at 13, and was shooting smack at 17, which explains how I got Hepatitis C, which was the basis of my first book, which was a humor book about dying Picture Quote #1

While the older generation is content to sit around and critique culture, that culture is moving beyond them. At some point the traditional church and all of the expressions of that church will become essentially irrelevant Picture Quote #1

I started in junior high doing the splits and flips and that kind of stuff. It was kind of the acceptable thing to do. But I had two older brothers, so I was a tomboy. I was the cute tomboy who could put on the skirt but then go tackle you or something. I was a little rough around the edges for a pretty woman! Picture Quote #1

To eat the boiled head of a pig sliced like salami is very strange. It may seem cutting edge, but it’s actually a lot older than any of the other traditional salami Picture Quote #1

I see that the greatest thing about getting older is how your judgment changes and how you come to understand the cycles of life. And you keep having these amazing flashes of understanding Picture Quote #1

The good news is at this point as I get older, the load has gotten heavier but my shoulders have gotten wider because I’ve gotten happier so it’s a damn good thing Picture Quote #1

I think actually one of the things you learn when you get older is, things change. You get a longer perspective. I was quite depressed when I was young. I had a dark cloud hanging over me. But I always felt this is not the end. It’s always changing; it’s going up, it’s going down. Great things will happen Picture Quote #1

I’m not interested in dating. I like being with my own best friend, me. Certain women, particularly older women, cannot believe I like going to a social event by myself. But I do Picture Quote #1

Dating is different when you get older. You’re not as trusting, or as eager to get back out there and expose yourself to someone Picture Quote #1

Older boys were allowed to beat younger ones at my 15th-century English boarding school, and every boy had to run a five-mile annual steeplechase through the sludge and rain of an October day, as horses do. We wrote poems in dead languages and recited the Lord’s Prayer in Latin every Sunday night Picture Quote #1

I’m getting older every day, and I’m going to be making music until I drop dead Picture Quote #1

As I get older, I’m trying to accept improvisation into my day-to-day living Picture Quote #1

Once you get older, you get a little closer to yourself, intimate. I’ve always been very aware of that, more conscious of who I am, how I fit in the thing as opposed to trying to emulate someone else. Though, sometimes I try to emulate De Niro all the time, who is someone I could never be Picture Quote #1

Christ.No, not Christ. These leavings were made in propitiation of a much older God than the Christian one. People have called Him different things at different times, but Rachel’s sister gave Him a perfectly good name, I think: Oz the Gweat and Tewwible, God of dead things left in the ground, God of rotting flowers in drainage ditches, God of the Mystery Picture Quote #1

I’ve spent a long time avoiding painting and dealing with it from a distance. But as I get older, I’m more comfortable with it Picture Quote #1

I don’t worry. I’m more stoical. Of course I have insecurities. I fear getting older. I fear death and illness. I’m not prone to depression, but I get depressed because everybody gets depressed. Suddenly I’m away from my family or doing a job I’m not enjoying Picture Quote #1

Older couples bring obligations such as support payments and debt as well as decades of financial experience to a marriage Picture Quote #1

Understanding the materials I work with... gives me a deeper understanding of my place. And it’s helped me make sense of the changes that are happening to me as I grow older Picture Quote #1

When you’re younger, you see the people who are in power and think they must have that position because of some degree of skill. And as you get older, you realize it’s not true, that most people in those positions are absolutely inept. And this naturally makes you feel better about yourself Picture Quote #1

Older Americans are perfect telemarketing customers, analysts say, because they are often at home, rely on delivery services, and are lonely for the companionship that telephone callers provide Picture Quote #1

I don’t understand people getting depressed about getting older. There is nothing you can do about it, so you might as well embrace it Picture Quote #1

Researchers consistently find that most older volunteers, when compared to older nonvolunteers, have fewer functional and physical impairments, overall better health, higher life satisfaction and less depression. In addition, they attend religious services more frequently and belong to more social organizations Picture Quote #1
