Quote by Fay Weldon

There's no such thing as old age, there is only sorrow.

There's no such thing as old age, there is only sorrow.

Summary

This quote suggests that the concept of old age itself is not inherently negative, but rather it is the presence of sorrow or sadness that defines one's experience of getting older. It implies that the burden of age lies not in the passing of time, but in the hardships, regrets, or losses that accumulate with age. Age alone should not be a source of despair; rather, it is the weight of sorrow that may accompany it which can make the experience of old age challenging.
