Quote by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Once a man's thirty, he's already old, He is indeed as good as dead. It's best to kill him right away.

Once a man's thirty, he's already old, He is indeed as good

Summary

This quote expresses a cynical perspective on aging, suggesting that once a man reaches thirty years old, his life is essentially over and it would be better to end it immediately. It implies a belief that youth is the only valuable stage of life and that older individuals are no longer useful or relevant. The quote reflects a bleak and nihilistic outlook, disregarding the potential for growth, wisdom, and fulfillment that can come with age.

I studied the Quran a great deal. I came away from that study with the conviction that by and large there have been few religions in the world as deadly to men as that of Muhammad. As far as I can see, it is the principal cause of the decadence so visible today in the Muslim world and, though less absurd than the polytheism of old, its social and political tendencies are in my opinion more to be feared, and I therefore regard it as a form of decadence rather than a form of progress in relation to paganism itself.
