“Old age is a wonderful time of life…At least, that’s what everyone tells you. But let me tell you: it is not true. What’s true is that your hips, knees and ankles gradually give up on you – everything is quite dreadful, really. And it was a terrible thing to have told us…because we believed it.”

“You know when you give your love away
it opens your heart,
everything is new.
And you know time will always find a way
to let your heart believe it's true.”

Enya (1961) Irish singer, songwriter, and musician
