Old age is the most precious time of life, the one nearest eternity. There are two ways of growing old. There are old people who are anxious and bitter, living in the past and illusion, who criticize everything that goes on around them. But there are old people with a child's heart, who have used their freedom from function and responsibility to find a new youth. They have the wonder of a child but the wisdom of maturity as well. (Jean Vanier, Community and Growth, page 140, L'Arche Canada | L'Arche Canada Foundation | Jean Vanier Online)
