Of these years nought remains in memory but the sad feeling that we have advanced and only grown older.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
What makes old age so sad is not that our joys but our hopes cease.
I remember being young in the 1960s... we had a great sense of the future, a great big hope. This is what is missing in the youth today. This being able to dream and to change the world.
I don't feel any older now than when I was 70.
Certainly, for time out of mind, an obsessive dwelling on happier former days has been synonymous with getting older, while it was the juvenescent who rushed with open arms to embrace the future.
'Aging' has been bad ever since we figured out it led to dying.
We virtually never feel our age, but thinking that we should can lead to disaster.
It would be sad if my best work had been 20 years ago and now I only had memories.
Quite a lot of our contemporary culture is actually shot through with a resentment of limits and the passage of time, anger at what we can't do, fear or even disgust at growing old.
I feel that we are currently living in a world that is similar to late '50s, early '60s kind of world.
I find age such a foreign concept. I have to be reminded. I still have the extraordinary feeling of adventure, striking out into unknown fields.
