Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. The real sadness of fifty is not that you change so much but that you change so little.
  • 2. What makes old age hard to bear is not the failing of one's faculties mental and physical but the burden of one's memories.
  • 3. 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 Amazing

  • 1. I have short goals – to get better every day to help my teammates every day – but my only ultimate goal is to win an NBA championship. It's all that matters. I dream about it. I dream about it all the time how it would look how it would feel. It would be so amazing.
  • 2. It's amazing if you know what you want to say how fast it is to write.
  • 3. It is not short of amazing the power of a great idea to weld men together. There was in it a peculiar intense vital spirit if you will that I have never felt before in any strike.

3 Anger

  • 1. Anger's not a good emotion.
  • 2. You've just got to have a sense of respect for the person you have children with. Anger doesn't help anybody. Ultimately you have to say forgiveness is important and honoring what you had together is important. But it's easy to say and harder to do.
  • 3. Anger tears me up inside… My own… or anyone else's.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. The heart of marriage is memories and if the two of you happen to have the same ones and can savor your reruns then your marriage is a gift from the gods.
  • 2. You will reciprocally promise love loyalty and matrimonial honesty. We only want for you this day that these words constitute the principle of your entire life and that with the help of divine grace you will observe these solemn vows that today before God you formulate.
  • 3. Strike an average between what a woman thinks of her husband a month before she marries him and what she thinks of him a year afterward and you will have the truth about him.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Information and inspiration are everywhere… history art architecture everything an illustrator needs. Europe is after all the land that has generated most of the enduring myths and legends of Western culture.
  • 2. I don't find Hollywood interesting so I'm thinking of studying architecture instead.
  • 3. Architecture is not an inspirational business it's a rational procedure to do sensible and hopefully beautiful things that's all.
