“I remember young Austrian boys going to school, flocks of quail they were, sitting out their recess in different spots in the sun, rosy-cheeked, bright-eyed, with damp rosy mouths, smelling of the herd childhood, facts of history glimmering in their minds like sunlight, soon to be lost, soon to be forgotten, degraded into proof. Youth is cause, effect is age; so with the thickening of the neck we get data.”

“J'ai vingt-cinq ans, j'écris ce livre, et j'ai cet âge une fois pour toutes. Cela fait vingt-cinq ans que je l'ai, et j'espère bien l'avoir encore pendant vingt-cinq ans au moins, et même plus d'ailleurs, si mon corps s'aligne sur les statistiques - ce que je suis tout de même en droit d'attendre de lui, me faisant déjà assez remarquer comme ça. J'ai mis longtemps à avoir l'âge que j'avais secrètement, je garderai longtemps secrètement cet âge.”

“The denial of age in America culminates in the prolongevity movement, which hopes to abolish old age altogether. But the dread of age originates not in the "cult of youth" but in a cult of the self. Not only in its narcissistic indifference to future generations but in its grandiose vision of a technological utopia without old age, the prolongevity movement exemplifies the fantasy of "absolute, sadistic power" which, according to Kohut, so deeply colors the narcissistic outlook. Pathological in its psychological origins and inspiration, superstitious in its faith in medical deliverance, the prolongevity movement expresses in characteristic form the anxieties of a culture that believes it has no future.”
