Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.
  • 2. I saw how many people were poor and how many kids my age went to school hungry in the morning which I don't think most of my contemporaries in racially segregated schools in the South thought very much about at the time.
  • 3. I think I'm a bit less inhibited and not thinking too much before speaking. It's not about being shameful I'm just a bit more unabashedly myself because of this thing and it probably started at age 15. I can be around people and say what I think without fear.

2 Amazing

  • 1. When I see myself in the videogame it's amazing how realistic I look. This is the most authentic and realistic soccer game I have ever seen. It is like I'm looking in a mirror. The attention to detail is incredible.
  • 2. It's amazing to me that they're cutting physical education programs in the school systems.
  • 3. I spent well over a year on the road with Sarah Vaughn. That was amazing.

3 Anger

  • 1. Anger is a killing thing: it kills the man who angers for each rage leaves him less than he had been before – it takes something from him.
  • 2. The anger of lovers renews their love.
  • 3. President Obama clearly cannot run on his record. All he's offering is more of the same. That's not good. Look at the economy. It's stagnating. And so what they're now going to try and do is bring this campaign down to little things distractions distortions smear fear anger frustration.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Both the Obama and Romney campaigns said they pulled all their political ads today in observance of the September 11th anniversary. But politics wasn't very far offstage. The Obama campaign sees foreign policy as an advantage this year.
  • 2. Why does a woman work ten years to change a man's habits and then complain that he's not the man she married?
  • 3. Mom and Dad were married 64 years. And if you wondered what their secret was you could have asked the local florist – because every day Dad gave Mom a rose which he put on her bedside table. That's how she found out what happened on the day my father died – she went looking for him because that morning there was no rose.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Opera next to Gothic architecture is one of the strangest inventions of Western man. It could not have been foreseen by any logical process.
  • 2. Post-Modernism was a reaction against Modernism. It came quite early to music and literature and a little later to architecture. And I think it's still coming to computer science.
  • 3. Of course I know very little about architecture and the older I get the less I know.
