Ashley Montagu
The whole of life is a journey toward youthful old age, toward self-contemplation, love, gaiety, and, in a fundamental sense, the most gratifying time of our lives. . . . Old age should be a harvest time when the riches of life are reaped and enjoyed, while it continues to be a special period for self-development and expansion.
Ashley Montagu

Ashley Montagu
