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.

If there is any period one would desire to be born in, is it

If there is any period one would desire to be born in, is it not the age of Revolution; when the old and the new stand side by side, and admit of being compared; when the energies of all men are searched by fear and by hope; when the historic glories of the old can be compensated by the rich possibilities of the new era?

Poverty in itself does not make men into a rabble; a rabble is created only when there is joined to poverty a disposition of mind, an inner indignation against the rich, against society, against the government.
