Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. We have become a society that can't self-correct that can't address its obvious problems that can't pull out of its nosedive. And so to our list of disasters let us add this fourth entry: we have entered an age of folly that – for all our Facebooking and the twittling tweedle-dee-tweets of the twitterati – we can't wake up from.
  • 2. I was taught from a young age that many people would treat me as a second-class citizen because I was African-American and because I was female.
  • 3. Probably the happiest period in life most frequently is in middle age when the eager passions of youth are cooled and the infirmities of age not yet begun as we see that the shadows which are at morning and evening so large almost entirely disappear at midday.

2 Amazing

  • 1. It's amazing… to enjoy the results of your labor.
  • 2. I know some of my parents' friends think 'Little Britain' is in incredibly poor taste. But swimming the Channel? You can't really say anything negative about that can you? There's nothing better than making your parents happy. The glee on my father's face that day was amazing.
  • 3. It's amazing what ordinary people can do if they set out without preconceived notions.

3 Anger

  • 1. I've purged myself of bitterness and anger and remained open to love.
  • 2. When anger rushes unrestrained to action like a hot steed it stumbles on its way. The man of thought strikes deepest and strikes safely.
  • 3. Anger tears me up inside… My own… or anyone else's.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. As the third anniversary of the September 11th attacks draws near we must ensure our nation is prepared to handle the continued threat of violence and terrorism on our country.
  • 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. But to sustain a marriage for 50 years you have to get real a little bit and find someone who is understanding and who you can grow with. My mom always says 'Marry the man who loves you a millimeter more.'

5 Architecture

  • 1. Architecture and building is about how you get around the obstacles that are presented to you. That sometimes determines how successful you'll be: How good are you at going around obstacles?
  • 2. The American attitude towards efficiency and execution should always underlie architecture.
  • 3. I paint mostly from real life. It has to start with that. Real people real street scenes behind the curtain scenes live models paintings photographs staged setups architecture grids graphic design. Whatever it takes to make it work.
