About this Quote

This quote by A. C. Benson is a funny yet poignant reflection on the aging procedure. It suggests that as we age, life can become mundane and repeated. We are continuously marching back and forth in between the lavatory, a symbol of our physical decrease, and the rest of our lives. This quote highlights the fact that as we age, our physical health can end up being a major focus of our lives, and can frequently eclipse other aspects of our lives. It also recommends that as we age, we can end up being more aware of our death, which life can end up being more of a struggle. This quote is a tip to appreciate the moments of delight and satisfaction in life, and to take advantage of our time while we still can.
