Eternal Youth Quotes

On nature, vanity and the wish to never grow old.

One quote treats eternal youth as something nature offers freely through good air and clean water, a quieter kind of renewal than most people chase. Others describe a much more modern, anxious version tied to plastic surgery and status, a contrast also visible in our Age collection.

A comfortable old age is the reward of a well-spent youth. Instead of its bringing sad and melancholy prospects of decay, it would give us hopes of eternal youth in a better world.
