Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Elderly Quotations

It doesn't behoove elderly persons to follow fashion in their thinking nor in the way they dress.

Someone criticized an elderly man for wooing young women. He replied that that was the only way to rejuvenation, which was, afterall, everybody's wish.

Love, whose power youth feels, is not suitable for the elderly, just as little as anything that presupposes productivity. It is rare that productivity lasts through the years.
