Age should not have its face lifted but it should rather teach the world to admire wrinkles as the etchings of experience and the firm line of character.

I am firmly of the opinion that women who make a lot of effort to hang onto their looks in middle age (unless they are beauties entertainers or prostitutes) are rather sad as one should surely have something more substantial to recommend one by this time such as kindness or cleverness.

I hate the idea that you shouldn't wear something just because you're a certain age.

You hit a certain age and - especially because of TV - the young cooks coming up say 'You're a sellout because you're doing something other than what you should be doing.' 'Top Chef' is a double-edged sword for me: There's a whole group of people who will not come to the restaurants because they assume I'm not in them anymore all I do is TV.

I'm 20 years old. I like to party as much as anyone my age. Going clubbing is my way of relaxing or releasing a lot of stress. I don't feel that I should have to justify that part of my life. I don't know that I'm necessarily an addict.

At this age I should be leading a quiet life.

We virtually never feel our age but thinking that we should can lead to disaster.

I really think we should pass a law in every state I don't care whether it takes the independence away from an old person or not. You shouldn't be driving a car if you're over the age of 80. Maybe even less than that.

To be told that one can be dependent on one's parents until age 26 should strike a young person who wants to grow up as demeaning not as something to celebrate.

Why should 20-year-olds only be considered sexy? I think we get better with age.

I think a child should be allowed to take his father's or mother's name at will on coming of age. Paternity is a legal fiction.

It's sad actually because my anxiety keeps me from enjoying things as much as I should at this age.

I think that a man should not live beyond the age when he begins to deteriorate when the flame that lighted the brightest moment of his life has weakened.

In passing we should note this curious mark of our own age: the only absolute allowed is the absolute insistence that there is no absolute.

We of Africa protest that in this day and age we should continue to be treated as lesser human beings than other races.

You should not consider a man's age but his acts.

I believe we should encourage children to sing and play instruments from an early age.
