Women Aged

Famous quotes containing the words women and/or aged:

“It is not however, adulthood itself, but parenthood that forms the glass shroud of memory. For there is an interesting quirk in the memory of women. At 30, women see their adolescence quite clearly. At 30 a woman’s adolescence remains a facet fitting into her current self.... At 40, however, memories of adolescence are blurred. Women of this age look much more to their earlier childhood for memories of themselves and of their mothers. This links up to her typical parenting phase.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)

“Art is eternally young, but the poet ages. If only he remained as young as art! If only it aged with him!”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
