'The tragedy of getting old is not that you feel old but that you feel young' or something similar, who said this, need to quote it fairly urgently
@Chinspinner,
The deepest definition of youth is life as yet untouched by tragedy.
Alfred North Whitehead
@Chinspinner,
scratch that.
The tragedy of old age is not that one is old, but that one is young.
OSCAR WILDE, The Picture of Dorian Gray
@Chinspinner,
'is young' or 'feels young' ? might paraphraze
@Chinspinner,
I wouldn't change the words of Oscar Wilde. . . . just my own preference.
@Questioner,
I kind of agree, never got through a book of his... pompous in the extreme.
