    The paradox of life is that your body becomes older much faster than your soul. Physically, you are becoming older and older day by day, while spiritually you can be younger yet. And one nice day, when your soul is almost ready to love someone who is much younger than you, the wrinkle on your face will suddenly dispel the illusion of youngness. And this will be the tragedy of ageing in your life.

Until science makes it possible to get younger, getting fitter, faster, and better at what you love will remain the closest thing most of us have.
