![“I think [aging] has nothing to recommend it. You don't gain any wisdom as the years go by. You fall apart, is what happens. People try and put a nice varnish on it, and say, well, you mellow. You come to understand life and accept things. But you'd trade all of that for being 35 again.” quote by Woody Allen](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/6bf/woody-allen-176_accepting_i-think-aging-has-nothing-to-recommend-i_1963010.jpg)
