"Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically." ― David Herbert Lawrence Topic(s): Age Tags: essentially, tragic More From David Herbert Lawrence "My great religion is a belief in the blood, the flesh, as being wiser than the intellect. We can go wrong in our minds. But what our blood feels and believes and says, is always true. The intellect is only a bit and a bridle." "Men and women should stay apart, till their hearts grow gentle towards one another again." "The world of men is dreaming, it has gone mad in its sleep, and a snake is strangling it, but it can’t wake up." More In Age "The information encoded in your DNA determines your unique biological characteristics, such as sex, eye color, age and Social Security number."― Dave Barry "I think I don’t regret a single ‘excess’ of my responsive youth – I only regret, in my chilled age, certain occasions and possibilities I didn’t embrace."― Henry James "I’ve never worried about age."― Jeanne Moreau
