"The surface, the superficial, the way one looks has become valued too highly in our society. … Here's the real question: What do we have to do to place more value on age? We have to value ourselves not for what we look like or the things we possess but for the women we are. The most important thing I can tell you about aging is this: If you really feel that you want to have an off-the-shoulder blouse and some big beads and thong sandals and a dirndl skirt and a magnolia in your hair, do it. Even if you're wrinkled." — Dr. Maya Angelou

"One thing is for sure: You're going to get old. Deal with it. One thing is for sure: We live and we die. We're young and then we grow old. What can we do about it? Care—care in a way that you don't have to necessarily go under the knife. Care about your happiness, your health, what you take for the health rather than depending on something synthetic to make you young. You can start early with preventing age. I don't believe in this modern … way of trying to stay young forever. I don't believe in it. I won't do it." — Tina Turner

"You can get older, but you don't have to get old." — Joan Collins

"There is something … women can do for themselves. It will not only help them look more youthful, it will help them be happier. Learn to speak to yourself with kindness and generosity. Women have this ongoing internal voice. They'll look in the mirror and say, 'Oh, you fat cow!' If someone walked up to you and said, 'Hi, you fat cow,' you would not accept that. So why would you accept that from yourself?" — Victoria Principal

"There is no old age. There is, as there always was, just you."
-Carol Matthau

"The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age. " - Lucille Ball
