Quote by Renee Winegarten
Old age cannot be cured. An epoch or a civilization cannot be prevented from breathing its last. A natural process that happens to all flesh and all human manifestations cannot be arrested. You can only wring your hands and utter a beautiful swan song.

The quote implies that instead of resisting or fighting against these transitions, one can only come to terms with them and find solace in expressing them elegantly, just like a beautiful swan song before the end.
