1 Age

  • 1. Everybody past a certain age regardless of how they look on the outside pretty much constantly dreams of being able to escape from their lives.
  • 2. The year I was born 1956 was the peak year for babies being born and there are more people essentially our age than anybody else. We could crush these new generations if we decided too.
  • 3. Light and funny has a more compelling quality when you're younger. But I haven't abandoned the genre: I love falling down I love Lucille Ball. It's just that a lot of those stories revolve around problems that I can't convincingly portray at this age.

2 Amazing

  • 2. Quite a lot of our contemporary culture is actually shot through with a resentment of limits and the passage of time anger at what we can't do fear or even disgust at growing old.
  • 3. Every child senses with all the horse sense that's in him that any parent is angry inside when children misbehave and they dread more the anger that is rarely or never expressed openly wondering how awful it might be.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. We can't forget what happened on May 4th 1970 when four students gave up their lives because they had the American constitutional right of peaceful protest. They gave up their lives. And to sing that song in that spot on that anniversary was very emotional for us.
  • 2. Never tell a secret to a bride or a groom wait until they have been married longer.
  • 3. Mr. Speaker I rise today to recognize the Peace Corps as it reached its 45th anniversary on March 1 2006.

5 Architecture

  • 1. What has happened to architecture since the second world war that the only passers-by who can contemplate it without pain are those equipped with a white stick and a dog?
  • 2. Designed by architects with honorable intentions but hands of palsy.
  • 3. Maybe we can show government how to operate better as a result of better architecture. Eventually I think Chicago will be the most beautiful great city left in the world.
