aging

I get all fired up about aging in America.

I'm not afraid of aging.

If you look at body fat, it seems to increase with age, even though your weight does not. That's a physiological fact of aging, they say. Heck it is. It is an adaptive effect of aging.

Knowing how to age and not being afraid of aging is very healthy.

Age is inevitable. Aging isn't.

I feel about aging the way William Saroyan said he felt about death: Everybody has to do it, but I always believed an exception would be made in my case.

Everything about aging in my experience so far has been a plus. Except the death part!

We are not victims of aging, sickness and death. These are part of scenery, not the seer, who is immune to any form of change. This seer is the spirit, the expression of eternal being.

And meanwhile time goes about its immemorial work of making everyone look and feel like shit.

When doing sports... on the water, it's crucial to stop aging by protecting your skin.

Aging is mostly the failure to repair.

Aging has a wonderful beauty and we should have respect for that.

Finally, I began to write about becoming an older woman and the trepidation it stirred. The small, telling "betrayals" of my body. The stalled, eerie stillness in my writing, accompanied by an ache for some unlived destiny. I wrote about the raw, unsettled feelings coursing through me, the need to divest and relocate, the urge to radically simplify and distill life into a new, unknown meaning.

Women may be the one group that grows more radical with age.

If you think that I am going to bother myself again before I die about social improvement or read any of those stinking upward and onwarders - you err - I mean to have some good out of being old.

Old age especially an honoured old age has so great authority that this is of more value than all the pleasures of youth.

We grow neither better nor worse as we get old but more like ourselves

I never dared be radical when young For fear it would make me conservative when old.
