Ashton Applewhite
“It’s not loving a man that makes life harder for gay guys, it’s homophobia. It’s not the color of their skin that makes life harder for people of color; it’s racism. It’s not having vaginas that makes life harder for women, it’s sexism. And it’s ageism, far more than the passage of time, that makes growing older harder for all of us.”
Ashton Applewhite, This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism

Mikhail Bulgakov
“But what can be done, the one who loves must share the fate of the one he loves.”
Mikhail Bulgakov, The Master and Margarita

Fear of dying is human. Fear of aging is cultural.

“It is extremely disturbing to live in a society that sees older people as a burden rather than rich experiences to benefit from and build upon. Older people can act as the memory that can help us make sense of what was, what is, and what could and should be. I see that in the U.S. older people are not only made invisible in a culture obsessed with youth and superficial physical appearances, but often their insights, experiences, and perspectives are dismissed as ‘nostalgic’ or as outright ‘ignorant’ using the ‘generational gap’ as a pretext.”
