3 December 2020 Frederick Jackson Turner Each age tries to form its own conception of the past. Each age writes the history of the past anew with reference to the conditions uppermost in its own time.
3 December 2020 Hume Cronyn The whole business of marshaling one’s energies becomes more and more important as one grows older.
3 December 2020 George Burns If you live to be one hundred, you’ve got it made. Very few people die past that age.
3 December 2020 Greer Garson I do wish I could tell you my age but it’s impossible. It keeps changing all the time.
3 December 2020 Amanda Peet There’s a very small group of elite actresses who are my age, who people want to work with. It’s not easy to get a good job with good actors.
3 December 2020 Horace Walpole Alexander at the head of the world never tasted the true pleasure that boys of his own age have enjoyed at the head of a school.
3 December 2020 Michael Haneke To be perfectly honest, I think that as I’m growing older, I’m just growing more impatient. I’ll be very happy if at some point people say, ‘Michael’s grown wiser and softer in his old age.’ But we’ll have to wait and see what my next project is.
3 December 2020 Phyllis Diller Whatever you may look like, marry a man your own age – as your beauty fades, so will his eyesight.
3 December 2020 James Joyce I think a child should be allowed to take his father’s or mother’s name at will on coming of age. Paternity is a legal fiction.
3 December 2020 Michel Foucault If repression has indeed been the fundamental link between power, knowledge, and sexuality since the classical age, it stands to reason that we will not be able to free ourselves from it except at a considerable cost.
3 December 2020 Giorgio Armani I love things that age well – things that don’t date, that stand the test of time and that become living examples of the absolute best.
3 December 2020 Jane Seymour People say women shouldn’t have long hair over a certain age, but I’ve never done what everyone says.
3 December 2020 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe The credit of advancing science has always been due to individuals and never to the age.
3 December 2020 Paul Cezanne I must be more sensible and realize that at my age, illusions are hardly permitted and they will always destroy me.
3 December 2020 Oprah Winfrey I don’t think of myself as a poor deprived ghetto girl who made good. I think of myself as somebody who from an early age knew I was responsible for myself, and I had to make good.
3 December 2020 Norman Douglas You can construct the character of a man and his age not only from what he does and says, but from what he fails to say and do.
3 December 2020 Stendhal This is the curse of our age, even the strangest aberrations are no cure for boredom.
3 December 2020 Corey Feldman My acting career began at age three and my parents got me into it. I was in a McDonald’s commercial.
3 December 2020 Brigham Young Any young man who is unmarried at the age of twenty one is a menace to the community.
3 December 2020 Lea Michele Growing up on stage, I was introduced to makeup at a young age and I will never forget the first time I tried on a L’Oreal Paris iconic lipstick – it was instant glamour and I’ve been hooked ever since.
3 December 2020 Bruce Barton No sex, age, or condition is above or below the absolute necessity of modesty but without it one vastly beneath the rank of man.
3 December 2020 J. J. Abrams We live in an age of instant knowledge. And there’s almost a sense of entitlement to that.
3 December 2020 Mia Wasikowska Traveling to Russia and Germany and being able to see the world at a young age was really cool for me, and I really liked that.
3 December 2020 Joan Collins Age is just a number. It’s totally irrelevant unless, of course, you happen to be a bottle of wine.
3 December 2020 George Foreman I hope to have one more boxing match at the age of 55. Given that demographic at the age of 55 to 65, you’ve got to make a statement with your life. Otherwise, you are just existing.
3 December 2020 E. B. White Old age is a special problem for me because I’ve never been able to shed the mental image I have of myself – a lad of about 19.
3 December 2020 Christopher Hitchens ‘Bombing Afghanistan back into the Stone Age’ was quite a favourite headline for some wobbly liberals. The slogan does all the work. But an instant’s thought shows that Afghanistan is being, if anything, bombed out of the Stone Age.
