1 Age

  • 1. My view is pensioners don't have the one option that people of working age have. They can't really increase their income because they are no longer able to work.
  • 2. Young women from a very young age are taught that life will be easier if you can just turn on the charming smile and say very little and be complacent and docile and sweet.
  • 3. Age imprints more wrinkles in the mind than it does on the face.

2 Amazing

  • 1. Being in an area of the planet where scientists believe mankind started is quite amazing.
  • 2. Tell me why is the media here so negative? Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognise our own strengths our achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why?
  • 3. It's amazing it doesn't feel like it has been 10 years since retirement.

3 Anger

  • 1. Being told about the effects of climate change is an appeal to our reason and to our desire to bring about change. But to see that Africans are the hardest hit by climate change even though they generate almost no greenhouse gas is a glaring injustice which also triggers anger and outrage over those who seek to ignore it.
  • 2. So I'm not worried about the emotions I carry with me because I'm happy that I have them I think it's good for the work I do. The emotions that are not healthy are the ones you hold inside like anger.
  • 3. Wise anger is like fire from a flint: there is great ado to get it out and when it does come it is out again immediately.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. One should believe in marriage as in the immortality of the soul.
  • 2. You marry somebody you love everything about them. You grow to learn about them. You never learn everything.
  • 3. So while an incredible amount of progress has been made on this fifth anniversary I wanted to come here and tell the people of this city directly: My administration is going to stand with you – and fight alongside you – until the job is done. Until New Orleans is all the way back all the way.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Of all the lessons most relevant to architecture today Japanese flexibility is the greatest.
  • 2. Nothing requires the architect's care more than the due proportions of buildings.
  • 3. Architecture is a slow business and city planning even slower.
