1 Age

  • 1. Pretend to be dumb that's the only way to reach old age.
  • 2. My mother enjoyed old age and because of her I've begun to enjoy parts of it too. So far I've had it good and am crumbling nicely.
  • 3. Old age is when the liver spots show through your gloves.

2 Amazing

  • 1. Nothing amazes me anymore.
  • 2. We are really on top of one another at the moment and I think it is amazing how we stay so close. Maybe that's the test. Why not totally put yourself together rather than always wonder whether you actually like each other?
  • 3. I finish so many books it's amazing. I'm also doing Rosetta Stone learning some French.

3 Anger

  • 1. The voice of the intelligence is drowned out by the roar of fear. It is ignored by the voice of desire. It is contradicted by the voice of shame. It is biased by hate and extinguished by anger. Most of all it is silenced by ignorance.
  • 2. I did not think that I was angry but clearly anger was reflected in my writing. I did not think that I had been affected emotionally but it was clear from my writing that I was still very emotional about the trial some six months after it ended.
  • 3. Fairest and dearest your wrath and anger are more heavy than I can bear but learn that I cannot tell what you wish me to say without sinning against my honour too grievously.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. We had a relationship that lasted 44 years. Herbert and I lived together 10 years before we were married. He always gave me a little heart for whatever anniversary.
  • 2. You marry somebody you love everything about them. You grow to learn about them. You never learn everything.
  • 3. The day before the anniversary of D-Day we lost a man who was equaled by few and surpassed by none as a leader in the cause of freedom: Ronald Reagan.

5 Architecture

  • 1. A great building must begin with the unmeasurable must go through measurable means when it is being designed and in the end must be unmeasurable.
  • 2. The aesthetic of architecture has to be rooted in a broader idea about human activities like walking relaxing and communicating. Architecture thinks about how these activities can be given added value.
  • 3. Those who look for the laws of Nature as a support for their new works collaborate with the creator.
