I guess maybe when you get past 70, other people start asking you how you feel.

You always think that 70 is the end of the road: 'Somebody died when they were 73; good life'. You're closer to death, and you better make sure you don't waste too much of your time doing things you don't want to do. No point in saying things you don't believe in.

I really feel better about aging at the age of 86 than I did at 70.

Being over seventy is like being engaged in a war. All our friends are going or gone and we survive amongst the dead and the dying as on a battlefield.

I don't know why people are so obsessed with age anyway. I mean, 90 is the new 70; 70 is the new 50 and 50 is the new 40; so the whole act-your-age thing? Only up to a point.

I don't feel any older now than when I was 70.

I'm seventy-one now, so it's hard to imagine a dramatic change.

You don't really know much until you get to be 70.

I am now seventy, rather glad, really, that I won't live to see the horrors to come in the 21st century.
