  • 2. We are the children of a technological age. We have found streamlined ways of doing much of our routine work. Printing is no longer the only way of reproducing books. Reading them however has not changed.
  • 3. I grew up on a farm in a small town where you do or say one thing and everybody knows about it. You see it happen there's always the town gossip – 'Oh did you hear about so and so or did you hear what went on in this household?' So I learned at a very young age just to keep my mouth shut.

2 Amazing

3 Anger

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Mom and Dad were married 64 years. And if you wondered what their secret was you could have asked the local florist – because every day Dad gave Mom a rose which he put on her bedside table. That's how she found out what happened on the day my father died – she went looking for him because that morning there was no rose.
  • 2. My mother and stepfather were married 43 years so I have watched a long marriage. I feel like I had a very good role model for that. And you know it's just a number.
  • 3. Never tell a secret to a bride or a groom wait until they have been married longer.

5 Architecture

  • 1. A city building you experience when you walk a suburban building you experience when you drive.
  • 2. My buildings don't speak in words but by means of their own spaciousness.
  • 3. A building has integrity just like a man. And just as seldom.
