Age is not a particularly interesting subject. Anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough.

If you associate enough with older people who do enjoy their lives, who are not stored away in any golden ghettos, you will gain a sense of continuity and of the possibility for a full life.
Old age may have its limitations and challenges, but in spite of them, our latter years can be some of the most rewarding and fulfilling of our lives.
It is better to have a meaningful life and make a difference than to merely have a long life.
No one longs to live more than someone growing old.
Old age is the verdict of life.
