Well I'm in my 60s now. I finally look it I think. People until I was 60 would always say they thought I looked younger which I think without flattering myself I did but I think I certainly have as George Orwell says people do after a certain age the face they deserve.
There was no respect for youth when I was young and now that I am old there is no respect for age I missed it coming and going.

Age becomes reality when you hear someone refer to that attractive young woman standing next to the woman in the green dress and you find that you're the one in the green dress.
In fact my courage and my bravery at a young age was the thing I was bullied for a kind of 'Who do you think you are?'
Middle age occurs when you are too young to take up golf and too old to rush up to the net.
I had used eclectic therapy and behavior therapy on myself at the age of 19 to get over my fear of public speaking and of approaching young women in public.
It is the malady of our age that the young are so busy teaching us that they have no time left to learn.
Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young.
It is not the young people that degenerate they are not spoiled till those of mature age are already sunk into corruption.
