1 Age

  • 1. I think a child should be allowed to take his father's or mother's name at will on coming of age. Paternity is a legal fiction.

  • 3. See the 'On the Road' that came out in 1957 was censored. A lot of the honesty of it the bitter honesty is in the original scroll version that came out in 2007 on the 50-year anniversary. Back then there was so much post-Second World War fear that was imposed on everybody – 'You must live life this way' – and these guys were bored.

5 Architecture

  • 1. There will never be great architects or great architecture without great patrons.
