"I ask you to pray for me, for once age has overtaken us, we find consolation only in religion." ― Paul Cezanne Topic(s): Age More From Paul Cezanne "We must not be content to memorize the beautiful formulas of our illustrious predecessors. Let us go out and study beautiful nature." "An art which isn’t based on feeling isn’t an art at all." "I must be more sensible and realize that at my age, illusions are hardly permitted and they will always destroy me." More In Age "Age is a terrible avenger. The lessons of life give you so much to work with, but by the time you’ve got all this great wisdom, you don’t get to be young anymore."― Elizabeth Wurtzel "I think that clearly it has an influence, to be coming of age during the punk rock era, to come from a difficult and sporadically violent background, to have been in and out of such chaos, I think it actually helps. But I don’t know for sure."― Craig Ferguson "The trick is growing up without growing old."― Casey Stengel
