If you're always battling against getting older, you're always going to be unhappy, because it will happen anyhow.

Whether people be of high or low birth, rich or poor, old or young, enlightened or confused, they are all alike in that they will one day die.

Life plays the same lovely and agonizing joke on all of us.

Always knowing you're going to die
And until then knowing you've got to live.

To two men living the same number of years, the world always provides the same sum of experiences. It is up to us to be conscious of them.

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

You know you’re getting old when everything aggravates you.

It's the same old song,
You've gotta be somewhere at sometime,
And they never let you fly.
It's like broken glass,
You get cut before you see it,
So open up your eyes.

It doesn't matter what you do because it's going to happen anyway.

Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too

Senescence begins
And middle-age ends
The day your descendants
Outnumber your friends

Be who you are, even if it kills you.
It will. Over and over again.
Even as you live.

As it was in the beginning
it will be until the end.
Your money buys you people
but it will not buy you friends.
Your life is an illusion
so live it day by day.
Just draw your own conclusion
It's gonna happen anyway

All life long, the same questions, the same answers.
