Diamonds are forever, my youth is not.

Meaning of the quote

Diamonds last forever, but our youth does not. This quote means that physical things like diamonds can exist for a very long time, but our own lives and youthful energy will eventually fade away. The actress is saying that while diamonds may be permanent, her own young age and vigor are not - they will only last for a limited time before she grows older.
