“Age means very little, it’s how we feel about the place we are in our life at that time, and how old we feel at that time. We’ve all have years where we face a blue, and sometimes dark period. The number on your birth certificate means nothing, specially, at times when we feel things are as right as they can be. And most days are heavenly with a divine satisfying.”

“Age of AI (The Sonnet)
Welcome to the age of AI, where algorithms
grow bigger, and minds get smaller,
where freedom is the new prison,
character retreats as cave dweller.
Welcome to the age of AI,
where deceit is the new creativity,
where hate is a human right,
malinformation is a legal industry.
Welcome to the age of AI,
where algorithms are still nonsentient,
but so are the people that use them,
mindlessness is trend of the new sapiens.
Welcome to the age of AI, where global goals
are still a dream, only more distant.
Prove me wrong - I beg of you -
Stand up and behave, a proper Sapiens!”

“Age puzzles me. I thought it was a quiet time. My seventies were interesting, and fairly serene, but my eighties are passionate. I grow more intense as I age. To my own surprise I burst out with hot conviction. Only a few years ago I enjoyed my tranquility; now I am so disturbed by the outer world and by human quality in general that I want to put things right, as though I still owed a debt to life. I must calm down. I am far too frail to indulge in moral fervor.”

“Age's sole purpose is to gift us more years in which to experience the minefield that is living. Along with that, it grants us the perspective to know that by the end of it all, it doesn't matter a damn whit that we no longer look like our younger selves. Because here's the thing we are no longer those supple, youthful, foolish people. We're that much older and infinitely wiser, war-weary and battle-scarred. We've become survivors and warriors, and as Ruby will tell you, you should always, always look the part.”

As women approach and go through menopause, naturally gaining weight as fat-to-muscle ratios shift, they exhibit many of the same anxieties and symptoms that teenage girls do.

“Age weighs heavily on me, and the knees
Buckle that long ago, like fawns, pranced nimbly.
I groan much but to what end? Humans simply
Cannot be ageless like divinities.

With love, swept a sweet youth to the earth's rim -
Tithonus. Even there age withered him,
Bound still to a wife forever young.”
