1 Age

  • 1. Middle age is the time when a man is always thinking that in a week or two he will feel as good as ever.
  • 2. The passions grafted on wounded pride are the most inveterate they are green and vigorous in old age.
  • 3. It's really amazing that in the age of unbelief as a smart man called it there isn't even more fraud. After all with no God there's no one to ever call you to account and no accounting at all if you can get away with it.

2 Amazing

  • 1. My 'Movember' moustache was never going to be as big as Nigel Mansell's but I tried my best. The amazing thing is that when you try to grow a moustache you notice everyone else's. There are some amazing moustaches on the grid.
  • 2. Housing Works is the coolest thrift store in the world because not only are they the best thrift store – they're not the most thrifty thrift store – but they have amazing stuff and all of their proceeds go directly to kids mostly homeless kids living with AIDS and HIV in New York in the metropolitan area.
  • 3. It was an amazing mistake to lose 10p on every copy because your sleeve is so expensive.

3 Anger

  • 1. My anger with the US was not at first that they had used that weapon – although that anger came later.
  • 2. Anger has a way of seeping into every other emotion and planting itself in there.
  • 3. Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Marriage is an alliance entered into by a man who can't sleep with the window shut and a woman who can't sleep with the window open.
  • 2. So I think you have to marry for the right reasons and marry the right person.
  • 3. Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union they insist there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which in my book is a good definition for friendship.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Space has always been the spiritual dimension of architecture. It is not the physical statement of the structure so much as what it contains that moves us.
  • 2. Architecture aims at Eternity.
  • 3. I loved logic math computer programming. I loved systems and logic approaches. And so I just figured architecture is this perfect combination.
