Back in my day we went and died when we were a hundred. But now look at these young folk, with their parties and their ponies and their girlfriends... feh!

 
Actually I think someone 1000 years old would probably have serious difficulty remembering anything, since at that point his or her perspective of relative time would have shrunk the apparent distinctions between seconds, minutes, hours and even days, all being relegated to 'too small to be of consequence', compared to how long they've been living.

 
"There are not many of them, all things considered: the truly old. Even on this planet, in this age, when people consider a mere hundred years or a thousand, to be an unusual span.

There are, for example, less than ten thousand humanoid individuals alive on this planet today who have personal memories of the saber-toothed tiger, the megatherium, the cave bear.

There are today less than a thousand who walked the streets of Atlantis (the first Atlantis. The other lands that bore that name were shadows, echo-Atlantises, myth lands, and they came later.)

There are less than five hundred living humans who remember the human civilizations that predated the great lizards.

There are roughly seventy people walking the earth, human to all appearances (and in a few cases, to all medical tests currently available), who were alive before the earth had begun to congeal from gas and dust.

How well do you know your neighbors? Your friends? Your lovers? Walk the streets of any city, and stare carefully at the people who pass you, and wonder and know this:

They are there too. The old ones."
