From Man and Superman: A Comedy and a Philosophy by Bernard Shaw

male · philosophical · 55 sec

A ripe age, Senora. But in hell old age is not tolerated. It is too real. Here we worship Love and Beauty. Our souls being entirely damned, we cultivate our hearts. As a lady of 77, you would not have a single acquaintance in hell. (THE OLD WOMAN: How can I help my age, man?) You forget that you have left your age behind you in the realm of time. You are no more 77 than you are 7 or 17 or 27. (THE OLD WOMAN: Nonsense!) Consider, Senora: was not this true even when you lived on earth? When you were 70, were you really older underneath your wrinkles and your grey hairs than when you were 30?
