I think the biggest disease the world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved. I know that I can give love for a minute, for half an hour, for a day, for a month, but I can give. I am very happy to do that, I want to do that.

What's interesting about the shift from an industrial age to a technological age is that we keep inventing new media: movies, records, radio, television, the Internet, and now ebooks - and one of the things that's most interesting about the invention of a new medium is watching it reinvent itself as it penetrates the culture.
— David Gerrold

After 3 years, I left the army at the ripe old age of 20, but I'd like to think some of the skills are still with me. I'm great at physical movement; I can still remember Morse code, and perhaps most importantly, I can fold my socks up into little balls with smiley faces.

It's rough being a teenager in this day and age.
— Kay Panabaker
I used to help my grandfather on the farm, driving tractors, raising crops and animals. I used to feed some of the baby cows and pigs, and I had to be no older than 7 or 8.

— Tyson Chandler
My children were taught at an early age how money works and that it comes from hard work. They've been on a commission - not an allowance - since they were little. They learned that if they worked around the house, they got paid. If they didn't work, they didn't get paid.

Even at age 10, I already knew that I was different from most people. My anxiety disorder was still years from being diagnosed, but it affected me quite deeply. I was too afraid to speak out in class, too nervous to make real friends.
— Jenny Lawson
I am becoming more radical with age. I have noticed that writers, when they are old, become milder. But for me it is the opposite. Age makes me more angry.
— Nawal El Saadawi
You know, from age 17 on, my paycheck was coming from cooking and working in kitchens.
— Anthony Bourdain
If anyone thinks they'd rather be in a different part of history, they're probably not a very good student of history. Life sucked in the old days.

— Elon Musk
For me, the end of childhood came when the number of candles on my birthday cake no longer reflected my age, around 19 or 20. From then on, each candle came to represent an entire decade.

— Billy Graham
We always think, 'Well, for a person who's blind, it must be an amazing, joyful miracle if by some chance their sight is restored to them.'

— Rosemary Mahoney
At the age of nine, I could cross the length of Glasgow on a succession of buses, wearing regulation garter-topped stockings and compulsory cap and - if I'd done well enough to earn the honour in last week's test - with a First World War medal on a striped ribbon pinned to my brown blazer. I must have looked like a chocolate soldier.
— Ronald Frame
If the Age of Sport has been all champagne and roses hitherto, then expect our love affair with its newly-acquired prominence to become increasingly tainted by scandals about cheating. Sport is losing its shine and allure.

— Rebecca Pidgeon
I knew what I wanted to do in sport from the age of nine.
— Magdalena Neuner
I was born three weeks early, and I kept being ill. From the age of zero to four, I was always in hospital having tests done, but they couldn't find out what was wrong.

— Jane Goodall
Everyone is the sum total of past experiences. A character doesn't just spring to life at age thirty.

— Twiggy
The freethinking of one age is the common sense of the next.

The irony is that the more we fight age, the more it shows. Paint on a 50-year-old face brings to mind a Gilbert and Sullivan comic figure. Smooth the cheeks, and suddenly the ear lobes and hands look out of place. Do we run around in October, painting the gold leaves green?
— Karen DeCrow
Legend: A lie that has attained the dignity of age.

Old age is just a record of one's whole life.

I was five years old; I got addicted to being on stage. I felt like it was the most wonderful place on Earth, performing in front of an audience, who in this case were a bunch of classmates, kids my age.
— Shakira
Millennials regularly draw ire for their cell phone usage. They're mobile natives, having come of age when landlines were well on their way out and payphones had gone the way of dinosaurs. Because of their native fluency, Millennials recognize mobile phones can do a whole lot more than make calls, enable texting between friends or tweeting.
— Chelsea Clinton

— Zlatan Ibrahimovic
The arrogance of age must submit to be taught by youth.

— Sarah McLachlan
In the summer of 1954, after several years in Austin, Minnesota, our family moved across the state to the small, rural town of Worthington, where my dad became regional manager for a life insurance company. To me, at age 7, Worthington seemed a perfectly splendid spot on the earth.

— Noel Coward

— Cat Cora
Although I sometimes enjoy writing from an adult's perspective, I feel dedicated to the coming of age story - that part of a young person's life where he must make a decision that will change his life forever. I still remember what it's like to be twelve years old.
— Kimberly Willis Holt
Why do people talk of the horrors of old age? It's great. I feel like a fine old car with the parts gradually wearing out, but I'm not complaining,... Those who find growing old terrible are people who haven't done what they wanted with their lives.
— Martha Gellhorn
Living in an age of advertisement, we are perpetually disillusioned. The perfect life is spread before us every day, but it changes and withers at a touch.
— J. B. Priestley

— Hans Kung
The heresy of one age becomes the orthodoxy of the next.
— Helen Keller
Today when I think about diversity, I actually think about the word 'inclusion.' And I think this is a time of great inclusion. It's not men, it's not women alone. Whether it's geographic, it's approach, it's your style, it's your way of learning, the way you want to contribute, it's your age - it is really broad.
— Ginni Rometty
I do wish I could tell you my age but it's impossible. It keeps changing all the time.
— Greer Garson
I think that age as a number is not nearly as important as health. You can be in poor health and be pretty miserable at 40 or 50. If you're in good health, you can enjoy things into your 80s.
— Bob Barker
But the age of chivalry is gone. That of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded; and the glory of Europe is extinguished forever.
— Edmund Burke
In Latino culture, the quinceanera's a big thing - it's when a girl becomes a woman. But I think age is just a number - you become a woman with the responsibilities you take on and the decisions you make. I started realizing that every day is a gift - you have every day to be thankful you're alive.
— Emily Rios
At three years of age, the child has already laid the foundations of the human personality and needs the special help of education in the school. The acquisitions he has made are such that we can say the child who enters school at three is an old man.
— Maria Montessori
We have entered an age in which education is not just a luxury permitting some men an advantage over others. It has become a necessity without which a person is defenseless in this complex, industrialized society. We have truly entered the century of the educated man.

— Wayne Gretzky
It wasn't until I left that I realised it's not weird to grow up in certain cities and, by the age of 27 or 28, for all of your friends to still be alive. I can think of a lot of kids that I knew in Chicago who were supposed to grow up but didn't.
— Chance The Rapper
Everyone in the world should have a trench coat, and there should be a trench coat for everyone in the world. It does not matter your age; it doesn't matter your gender.

Romance isn't measured by how viral your proposal goes. The Internet age may try to sell you something different, but don't ever forget that viral is closely associated with sickness - so don't ever make being viral your goal.
— Ann Voskamp
Being nice to everybody, saying hello to everyone in the room, signing every autograph; it was instilled in me at a very young age that this was what I was suppose to do. But I don't think it helps at all. I see more people who are rude or arrogant being rewarded - but, this way, I can put my head on the pillow at night.
— Brooke Shields
Every child needs to have for itself not only its loving parents and siblings and friends of its own age, but a grown-up friend.

— Paulina Porizkova
I want to get old gracefully. I want to have good posture, I want to be healthy and be an example to my children.
— Sting
Our scientific age demands that we provide definitions, measurements, and statistics in order to be taken seriously. Yet most of the important things in life cannot be precisely defined or measured. Can we define or measure love, beauty, friendship, or decency, for example?
— Dennis Prager
Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it.
— Brigitte Bardot
You have to age gracefully. And that's what I love about Keith Richards. That's what I love about the Rolling Stones. They are aging gracefully. They are falling apart at the seams right before our eyes, and they are doing it gracefully. And that's the most beautiful thing that we can do.
— Nikki Sixx
The Tibetans are dirty. They wash once a year and, except for festivals, seldom change their clothes till they begin to drop off. They are healthy and hardy; even the women can carry weights of sixty pounds over the passes. They attain extreme old age; their voices are harsh and loud, and their laughter is noisy and hearty.
— Isabella Bird
A man is a fool if he drinks before he reaches the age of 50, and a fool if he doesn't afterward.
— Frank Lloyd Wright
Old age is the verdict of life.
— Amelia Barr
Old age and sickness bring out the essential characteristics of a man.

No, no, I was only funny on stage, really. I, I, think I was funny as a person toward my classmates when I was very young. You know, when I was a child, up to about the age of 12.
— Rowan Atkinson
The delight of opening a new pursuit, or a new course of reading, imparts the vivacity and novelty of youth even to old age.
— Isaac D'Israeli
I was born on the other side of the tracks, in public housing in Brooklyn, New York. My dad never made more than $20,000 a year, and I grew up in a family that lost health insurance. So I was scarred at a young age with understanding what it was like to watch my parents lose access to the American dream.
— Howard Schultz
The most formative time of our lives are the years between birth and age 21, when we explore who we are and learn from those who surround us.
— Ben Shapiro
At the earliest age, when I saw a 'wet paint' sign, I had to touch the paint to see if it was wet. When I get stopped at the stoplight in the middle of the night, and there's just no cars coming, and the light is red, I go. I don't think I'm putting anyone in harm's way, and I'll just take the consequences. Because I'm a Libertarian.
— Gary Johnson
It feels like there's something for everyone in video games. It's not just a toy for a certain age group. It's steeped in the culture now.
— Rich Moore
For me, your real age is not the age on your ID. That's just a date when you were born.
— Jose Mourinho
I don't know if it's just my age or the climate or the high altitude or some of those old-cowboy values rubbing off on me, but I've grown slightly mellower living in Wyoming. I think if you ride into the West on a high horse, you pretty soon end up in a pile of manure.
— Alexandra Fuller
In every country and every age, the priest had been hostile to Liberty.
— Thomas Jefferson
I smoke ten to fifteen cigars a day. At my age I have to hold on to something.

At a young age winning is not the most important thing... the important thing is to develop creative and skilled players with good confidence.
— Arsene Wenger
Time, in general, has always been a central obsession of mine - what it does to people, how it can constitute a plot all on its own. So naturally, I am interested in old age.
— Anne Tyler
I figured out it was a social thing, what women were allowed to do. At a very young age, I decided I was not going to follow women's rules.
— Joan Jett
I shall not grow conservative with age.
— Elizabeth Cady Stanton
You had to learn at a certain age what sarcasm is, you know?
— Penny Marshall
I believe in miracles. At the age of 13, I was on holiday in Moscow with my mother. It was the only trip I took in my whole childhood. We stepped off a metro train and were approached by a talent scout who told me that she wanted to sign me to her modeling agency.
— Olga Kurylenko
Up until the age of 12, I went to dog shows every weekend. Mum showed beagles. It's a really competitive and eclectic world filled with characters who wear interesting outfits - similar to 'Toddlers & Tiaras,' but with dogs.
— Rebel Wilson
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.
— William Shatner
When I first started swinging a bat, I swung righty. So one time, my dad came home, and he wanted to see my batting stance. So I showed him. He says, 'You don't hit right-handed. You hit left-handed.' At that age I didn't even really think about it. Just like 'all right,' and I switched hands. He said I'd thank him later.
— Prince Fielder
I love coming of age stories that have struggle.
— Aaron Paul

— Larry Wilmore
A graceful and honorable old age is the childhood of immortality.
— Pindar
Girls' inner critics are starting to reveal themselves at a younger and younger age. And body image issues are an aspect of their lives which is causing them low self esteem and day-to-day suffering.
— Elizabeth Berkley
At the age of 12 I won the school prize for Best English Essay. The prize was a copy of Somerset Maugham's 'Introduction To Modern English And American Literature.' To this day I keep it on the shelf between my collection of Forester's works and the little urn that contains my mother's ashes.
— Wilbur Smith
The closing years of life are like the end of a masquerade party, when the masks are dropped.
— Cesare Pavese
Old age is a shipwreck.
— Charles de Gaulle
The answer to old age is to keep one's mind busy and to go on with one's life as if it were interminable. I always admired Chekhov for building a new house when he was dying of tuberculosis.
— Leon Edel
When I turned 60, it didn't bother me at all.
— Yoko Ono
The question isn't at what age I want to retire, it's at what income.

Industrialization based on machinery, already referred to as a characteristic of our age, is but one aspect of the revolution that is being wrought by technology.
— Emily Greene Balch
Despite what anti-aging ads say, growing older can be better. I feel better in my skin, 100 percent. You have greater effects of gravity, but the better sense of yourself you have is something I wouldn't trade. Women who lie about their age - 'why?'
— Demi Moore
We tend to think of age only in time, but I don't think it has much to do with time at all; there's a whole load of other things. I've met 16-year-olds who are old and 90-year-olds who are young.
— Roger Daltrey
I'll tell you, there is nothing better in life than being a late bloomer. I believe that success can happen at any time and at any age.
