My favorite quote, "For movements to have power, their members have to embrace the thing that is stigmatized, whether it’s being black, loving someone of the same sex, or growing old. That means moving from denying aging to accepting it, and even to embracing it."
Personally, I ping pong between wanting to grow old gracefully and wanting to fight it every step of the way.
