1 Age

  • 2. The excitement of learning separates youth from old age. As long as you're learning you're not old.
  • 3. So Harry Potter came in and it is nice that I have kids of the right age. I took them to London and they walked around the set and met Harry Potter and that is thrilling.

2 Amazing

  • 1. If you want to go to the mall you have to take security. But it's always cool. The kids are amazing.

  • 3. The satisfaction you get when you finally beat your dad is amazing that rush of adrenaline.

3 Anger

5 Architecture

  • 1. Architecture doesn't come from theory. You don't think your way through a building.
  • 2. Architecture will always express the technical and social progress of the country in which it is carried out. If we wish to give it the human content that it lacks we must participate in the political struggle.
  • 3. Of the individual poems some are more lyric and some are more descriptive or narrative. Each poem is fixed in a moment. All those moments written or read together take on the movement and architecture of a narrative.
