"Age has no reality except in our physical world. The essence of a human being is resistant to the passage of time. Our inner lives are eternal, which is to say that our spirits remain as youthful and vigorous as when we were in full bloom."
I had a recent birthday and thought to myself . . damn I am old! But I thought about it some more, and considered the notion that age does not have much bearing on "essence" and "spirit". Even though the physical world is the most obvious and alot of times the most prominent part of life, there are other aspects that may be more important.
The other part(next sentence) of the quote I left out because its relation to death and dying is not as direct. But its nice, so here it is "Think of love as a state of grace, not the means to anything, but the alpha and omega. An end in itself."
