When a noble life has prepared for old age, it is not decline that it reveals, but the first days of immortality.

Old age is the verdict of life.

In youth, the days are short and the years are long. In old age, the years are short and days long.

We understand death for the first time when he puts his hand upon one whom we love.

I am incapable of conceiving infinity, and yet I do not accept finity. I want this adventure that is the context of my life to go on without end.

One of the hardest thing to experience in old age is to wait for death to come.
