John Locke on aging and the mind: a poignant image

“Thus the ideas, as well as children, of our youth, often die before us: and our minds represent to us those tombs to which we are approaching; where, though the brass and marble remain, yet the inscriptions are effaced by time, and the imagery moulders away.” 

    ― John Locke, An Essay Concerning Human Understanding
