Old Age
“The tragedy of old age is not that one is old, but that one is young.
Inside this aging body is a heart still as curious, still as hungry, still as full of longing as it was in youth.
I sit at the window and watch the world pass by, feeling like a stranger in a strange land, unable to relate to the world outside, and yet within me, there burns the same fire that once thought it could conquer the world.
And the real tragedy is that the world still remains, so distant and elusive, a place I could never quite grasp.”
– Albert Camus,
“The Fall”.
