Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. Middle age: when you begin to exchange your emotions for symptoms.
  • 2. I was well motivated. What I wanted to do was work for myself. I had twenty two jobs before I started my business at the age of twenty three and I didn't want one more boss telling me what to do. So I was motivated simply because I didn't want a boss.
  • 3. In the modern media age we are rarely surprised by what we see. Whether it's on television or film or in the theatre everything is so advertised so trailed that most entertainment is merely what you thought it was going to be like.

2 Amazing

  • 1. L.A. Woman is amazing but when I was growing up I was into the Who.
  • 2. I'm not a kid anymore. And I'm excited for all the amazing things to come.
  • 3. My mother is the coolest most amazing person I know.

3 Anger

  • 1. Allowing children to show their guilt show their grief show their anger takes the sting out of the situation.
  • 2. I think people should be angry at things that are worthy of anger. Injustice is outrageous and deserves outrage.
  • 3. 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.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. The 150th anniversary of Penn State will highlight what is important and good about this distinguished institution and the fine people and research that it produces.
  • 2. Love is not weakness. It is strong. Only the sacrament of marriage can contain it.
  • 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. The work of art shows people new directions and thinks of the future. The house thinks of the present.
  • 2. Art is very tricky because it's what you do for yourself. It's much harder for me to make those works than the monuments or the architecture.
  • 3. The higher the building the lower the morals.
