About this Quote

This quote by Henri Frederic Amiel talks to the idea that age is not a specifying factor in one's life. He thinks that those who focus on their age are silly, and that one's age is identified by how they feel. This suggests that age is a state of mind, and that one's age must not be a limitation on what they can do or how they live their life. It is necessary to keep in mind that age is just a number, which one's mindset and outlook on life is what genuinely matters. Amiel's quote encourages us to focus on our self-confidence and to not be restricted by our age. We need to strive to live life to the fullest, regardless of our age.
