About this Quote

This quote by John Barrymore talks to the suggestion that age is not a step of a person's life, yet rather the mindset they take in the direction of it. It recommends that a person is only as old as they really feel, which age is not a constraint on what one can attain. The quote suggests that a person is just truly old when they stop dreaming and begin regretting. It encourages us to keep dreaming and also pursuing our objectives, regardless of our age. It is a suggestion that age should not be an obstacle to accomplishing our dreams, which we must never ever give up on them. It is a call to action to maintain striving for our goals and to never ever allow age be a restriction. It is a tip that age is just a number, and that we ought to never ever allow it define us.
