El que hoy es un impetuoso joven se quedaría horrorizado si contemplara
el retrato de lo que será en su vejez. Llevaos con vosotros todos los
impulsos humanos cuando salgáis de los fáciles años de la juventud
para entrar en la severa virilidad que todo lo endurece, lleváoslo, no los
abandonéis en el camino. ¡Después no os será posible recuperarlos! ¡La
vejez que os aguarda, horrible y temible, jamás devuelve nada!
Más compasiva que la vejez es la sepultura, en ella se escribirá: «Aquí han enterrado a un hombre»,
pero nada se puede leer en los insensibles y fríos rasgos de la inhumana vejez.

Oh, once you’ve been initiated into the Elderly, the world doesn’t want you back.” Veronica settled herself in a rattan chair and adjusted her hat just so. “We—by whom I mean anyone over sixty—commit two offenses just by existing. One is Lack of Velocity. We drive too slowly, walk too slowly, talk too slowly. The world will do business with dictators, perverts, and drug barons of all stripes, but being slowed down it cannot abide. Our second offence is being Everyman’s memento mori. The world can only get comfy in shiny-eyed denial if we are out of sight.
