Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. I was always concerned with writing to my age at a particular moment. That was the way I would keep faith with the audience that supported me as I went along.
  • 2. The Border Ballads for instance and the Robin Hood Ballads clearly suppose a state of society which is nothing but a very circumscribed and not very important heroic age.
  • 3. Some say that the age of chivalry is past that the spirit of romance is dead. The age of chivalry is never past so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth.

2 Amazing

  • 1. The thing is I don't believe in most of what's done. The amount of financial and imaginative energy that's put into mediocrity is just amazing which I find to be fundamentally offensive as a human being.
  • 2. I love heels… whoever created heels is amazing!
  • 3. If you have only 95 minutes of material make an only 95-minute movie. Amazing how often that's forgotten.

3 Anger

  • 1. Guilt is anger directed at ourselves – at what we did or did not do. Resentment is anger directed at others – at what they did or did not do.
  • 2. What I needed most was to love and to be loved eager to be caught. Happily I wrapped those painful bonds around me and sure enough I would be lashed with the red-hot pokers or jealousy by suspicions and fear by burst of anger and quarrels.
  • 3. He who angers you conquers you.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. I have for some time urged that a nuclear abolition summit to mark the effective end of the nuclear era be convened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki on the 70th anniversary of the bombings of those cities with the participation of national leaders and representatives of global civil society.
  • 2. It is a matter of public shame that while we have now commemorated our hundredth anniversary not one in every ten children attending Public schools throughout the colonies is acquainted with a single historical fact about Australia.
  • 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. To provide meaningful architecture is not to parody history but to articulate it.
  • 2. Yet for my part deeply as I am moved by the religious architecture of the Middle Ages I cannot honestly say that I ever felt the slightest emotion in any modern Gothic church.
  • 3. In my experience if you have to keep the lavatory door shut by extending your left leg it's modern architecture.
