"Forty always sounded so important. The big four-oh. Well, after all, it is halfway, or more. But I've always wanted to be older. So I find actually being 40 very appealing." Elizabeth Taylor (From the February 25, 1972, issue of Life magazine.)
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others. – Audrey Hepburn
That I won't be able to handle aging better than I am now. At 85, I am technically old and, while being intellectually grateful I made it this far, I don't like being old and dread being older. – Helen Gurley Brown in answer to the question “What is your greatest fear?” in an interview in Vanity Fair magazine.
But I definitely am embracing aging. I also have never spent a lot of time in front of the mirror. So as far as I know, I look like I’m 24, which is how I feel. – Sheryl Crow
You have to accept whatever comes, and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give. – Eleanor Roosevelt
“As I look back over my life, as my mind wanders freely over how I’ve lived and loved and protested and questioned, I realize that aging well isn’t about the search for happiness, but more about quietly feeling content with what I’ve experienced. Loving without caring too much, you might say. And more than anything, I’ve come to appreciate the value of conflict. Everything isn’t always meant to be light and love. The dark times, the conflicts, that’s where real learning can happen.” – Shirley MacLaine
I've found that the process of aging is, to a large degree, negotiable. The point we all need to grasp, finally is that we have considerable room to modify our experience of aging. – Jane Fonda
That's it, just thought I'd share!
