Quote by Henry David Thoreau

None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm

None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm

Summary

This quote is suggesting that the true measure of one's age is not the number of years one has lived, but rather the loss of enthusiasm for life. It implies that people who have let go of their excitement, passion, and curiosity have essentially become old, regardless of their biological age. It serves as a reminder to nurture our enthusiasm and continue to find joy and inspiration in life, no matter how many years we have lived.

While it's really hard to do, at the same time, I'm escaping my body, which I really want to do. I'm living someone else's life. I get very intensely into the story, into the interviews and the research. I'm experiencing things along with my subjects. I have a freedom I don't have in my physical life.
