The
real sadness of fifty is not that you change so much but that
you change so little. Max Lerner I'm aiming by the time
I'm fifty to stop being an adolescent.Wendy Cope I think
when the full horror of being fifty hits you, you should stay
home and have a good cry. Alan Bleasdale Nobody expects
to trust his body overmuch after the age of fifty.
Edward Hoagland Now, aged 50, I'm just poised to shoot
forth quite free straight & undeflected my bolts whatever
they are. Virginia Woolf When you're 50 you start thinking
about things you haven't thought about before. I used to think
getting old was about vanity-but actually it's about losing people
you love. Getting wrinkles is trivial. Joyce Carol Oates
"Except ye become as little children," except you can
wake on your fiftieth birthday with the same forward- looking
excitement and interest in life that you enjoyed when you were
five, "ye cannot enter the kingdom of God." One must
not only die daily, but every day we must be born again. Dorothy
L. Sayers I think middle- age is the best time, if we can
escape the fatty degeneration of the conscience which often sets
in at about fifty. W. R. Inge The years between fifty
and seventy are the hardest. You are always being asked to do
things, and yet you are not decrepit enough to turn them down.
T. S. Eliot By the time we hit fifty, we have learned
our hardest lessons. We have found out that only a few things
are really important. We have learned to take life seriously,
but never ourselves.
