The Wisdom of the Aging Brain - Issue 36: Aging

Nautilus

At the 2010 Cannes Film Festival premiere of You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger, director Woody Allen was asked about aging. He replied with his characteristic, straight-faced pessimism. "I find it a lousy deal. There is no advantage in getting older. You don't get smarter, you don't get wiser ... Your back hurts more, you get more indigestion ... It's a bad business, getting old. I'd advise you not to do it if you can avoid it."
