"___ does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from ___": Jeanne Moreau (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

age

(Other definitions for age that I've seen before include "How long something has existed" , "Era; grow old" , "Length of life" , "it improves wine" , "Period piece" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
