Peter Thiel Quotes

Don't get old, if you can avoid it.

Just because you live longer doesn't necessarily give you a greater edge in quality.

If science can help us have the same quality of life we enjoyed when we were much younger, we should grasp it with both hands.

I understand that I'm not 20 anymore, but I feel great, like in my 20s. I don't know what it is, but in our generation, people last longer.

Every man desires to live long, but no man wishes to be old.

Like it or not, in the end, it's one's body. It's literally what carries you through life. There's a reason for the saying, 'If you have your health, you have everything,' and it's true. Old age, disease - these are the great equalizers.

What I'm after is not living to 1,000. I'm after letting people avoid death for as long as they want to.

The biggest myth about aging is that we can't do anything about it. That it's a road to being decrepit, frail, and sick.

Human lifespan used to be 30 years, 25 years. But there's no basic, fundamental reason why it has to be short.

We already live a very long time for mammals, getting three times as many heartbeats as a mouse or elephant. It never seems enough though, does it?

Exercise is the fountain of youth, I believe.

Health is a precious gift. You realise more and more as you get older just how precious a gift it is.

I really want to live longer. It's a goal of mine.

But generally I am fine with a capital F; probably in extraordinary shape for a man of my age.

Retarding the aging process would be therapy and enhancement because it would mean defeating diseases and because it would extend our life span.

Now people live into their 90s and beyond. As long as I have quality of life, I'm good.

I have little doubt that gerontologists will eventually find a way to avoid, or more likely, delay, the unpleasantries of extended life.

I have programmed myself to be at least 105 years old.

As long as humans have existed, we have always desired to live longer. Every society, every religion, every culture. Of course, they all failed at dramatic life extension.

When you extend life span, that's really something. That's hard to do.

I'd like to grow very old as slowly as possible.

All interest in disease and death is only another expression of interest in life.

If you live to be one hundred, you've got it made. Very few people die past that age.

It is very certain that the desire of life prolongs it.

I think that age as a number is not nearly as important as health. You can be in poor health and be pretty miserable at 40 or 50. If you're in good health, you can enjoy things into your 80s.
