It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old, they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams.

To all, I would say how mistaken they are when they think that they stop falling in love when they grow old, without knowing that they grow old when they stop falling in love.

The secret of a good old age is simply an honorable pact with solitude.

Age has no reality except in the physical world. The essence of a human being is resistant to the passage of time. Our inner lives are eternal, which is to say that our spirits remain as youthful and vigorous as when we were in full bloom. Think of love as a state of grace, not the means to anything, but the alpha and omega. An end in itself.

The only regret I will have in dying is if it is not for love.
