Old is old at any age. Old is when you quit asking questions about this, that, and everything. Old is when you forget how to love-or worse, don't care. Old is when you don't want to dance anymore. Old is when you don't want to learn anything new except how to be old. Old is when people tell you that you are old-and you believe them. Carew Papritz
About This Quote

When you are old you know how to be old. You know what is old and what isn't. "Old" is not necessarily about getting older, but about the wisdom you gain from what you have experienced in life. People do not necessarily get older when they get older, but they grow up more because of the wisdom they have gained.
