Quote by Tholuck
There is not a more repulsive spectacle than on old man who will not forsake the world, which has already forsaken him.
Summary
This quote suggests that it is detestable to witness an elderly individual who clings on to a world that has already left them behind. It implies that as one ages, it becomes unsightly to desperately cling to elements of a world that no longer values or supports them. It may hint at the importance of accepting the inevitable changes and transitions that come with age instead of persistently holding onto a past that has moved on.
