Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. By all but the pathologically romantic it is now recognized that this is not the age of the small man.
  • 2. Age like distance lends a double charm.
  • 3. There is no absurdity so palpable but that it may be firmly planted in the human head if you only begin to inculcate it before the age of five by constantly repeating it with an air of great solemnity.

2 Amazing

  • 1. It's amazing that you can listen to any song and you can always tell when there's some substance beneath it and when there isn't. Even if it's poetically written and technically brilliant I'd rather hear something that's all over the place but has some soul to it.
  • 2. To be honest everything in my life outside of tennis is great. I'm doing amazing projects that if I didn't have time off I wouldn't be able to focus on.
  • 3. Seeing yourself in print is such an amazing concept: you can get so much attention without having to actually show up somewhere… You don't have to dress up for instance and you can't hear them boo you right away.

3 Anger

  • 1. As far as having peace within myself the one way I can do that is forgiving the people who have done wrong to me. It causes more stress to build up anger. Peace is more productive.
  • 2. In general I was a good kid. It usually took a lot to make me mad. But once I reached the boiling point I lost all rational control. Totally without thinking when my anger was aroused I grabbed the nearest brick rock or stick to bash someone. It was as if I had no conscious will in the matter.
  • 3. In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth and have begun striving for ourselves.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. 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.
  • 2. 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.
  • 3. I have for some time urged that a nuclear abolition summit to mark the effective end of the nuclear era be convened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki on the 70th anniversary of the bombings of those cities with the participation of national leaders and representatives of global civil society.

5 Architecture

  • 1. To provide meaningful architecture is not to parody history but to articulate it.
  • 2. In my early 20s I was so miserable doing construction I wanted something that paid money. I liked nice stuff. I liked cars and architecture and things that cost money. I wanted to not swing a hammer and make money… and not do stuff that was dirty. I attempted to get into comedy. I started to do stand-up but I wasn't very good at it.
  • 3. 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.
