. In old age, we must wish to still have passions strong enough to prevent us from withdrawing into ourselves."

Translated from French
"To grow up, to mature, to grow old, to die, time passes, it is predestined, inevitable. There is only one solution so that old age is not an absurd parody of our previous life, and that is to continue to pursue ends that give meaning to our existence: devotion to individuals, to groups or to causes, social, political, intellectual or creative work. In old age, we must wish to still have passions strong enough to prevent us from withdrawing into ourselves."
Simone de Beauvoir
