3 Anger

  • 2. Anger begins with folly and ends with repentance.
  • 3. When I was younger I was terrified to express anger because it would often kick-start a horrible reaction in the men in my life. So I bit my tongue. I was left to painstakingly deal with the aftermath of my avoidance later in life in therapy or through the lyrics of my songs.

  • 3. One should believe in marriage as in the immortality of the soul.

  • 3. Japanese architecture is very much copied in this country and in Europe.
