quotes related to aging 6-15-14 "Whatever can be repaired gradually without destroying the original whole is, like the vestal fire, potentailly eternal." Francis Bacon (1561-1626), A History of Life and Death "The rapid progress true science now makes occasions my regretting sometimes that I was born too soon. It is impossible to imagine the height to which may be carried, in a thousand years, the power of man over matter... All diseases may by sure means be prevented or cured (not excepting even that of old age,) and our lives lengthened at pleasure, even beyond the antediluvian standard." Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), Letter to Joseph Priestley antediluvian: ridiculously old-fashioned "Is life not a thousand times too short for us to bore ourselves?" Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900)
