"Old age is a tyrant, who forbids, under pain of death, the pleasures of youth." ― Francois de La Rochefoucauld Topic(s): Age Tags: tyrant More From Francois de La Rochefoucauld "Jealousy is bred in doubts. When those doubts change into certainties, then the passion either ceases or turns absolute madness." "All the passions make us commit faults; love makes us commit the most ridiculous ones." "Great souls are not those who have fewer passions and more virtues than others, but only those who have greater designs." More In Age "A lot of music you might listen to is pretty vapid, it doesn’t always deal with our deeper issues. These are the things I’m interested in now, particularly at my age."― Annie Lennox "To resist the frigidity of old age, one must combine the body, the mind, and the heart. And to keep these in parallel vigor one must exercise, study, and love."― Alan Bleasdale "The terror of the atom age is not the violence of the new power but the speed of man’s adjustment to it, the speed of his acceptance."― E.
