Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. Life an age to the miserable and a moment to the happy.
  • 2. There are a lot of downsides to being male. We age faster and die younger. But give us this: we're lifetime baby-making machines. Women's reproductive abilities start to wane when they're as young as 35. Men? We're good to go pretty much till we're dead.
  • 3. No Congress ever has seen fit to amend the Constitution to address any issue related to marriage. No Constitutional Amendment was needed to ban polygamy or bigamy nor was a Constitutional Amendment needed to set a uniform age of majority to ban child marriages.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I auditioned for 'Girls' the fall after I graduated from Yale. The show has been amazing – as close to perfect as it gets!
  • 2. But I'm trying not to be cynical – I don't want to be one of those people who has a cool opportunity and blows it. It's really amazing what's happening to me.
  • 3. There were two things going on: 1) I had already established in my own mind where I wanted to go with the next series and having James around as a Grey Eminence would have complicated matters. He had had an amazing life and it was time to bid him good-bye.

3 Anger

  • 1. He that would be angry and sin not must not be angry with anything but sin.
  • 2. One should not lose one's temper unless one is certain of getting more and more angry to the end.
  • 3. Being told about the effects of climate change is an appeal to our reason and to our desire to bring about change. But to see that Africans are the hardest hit by climate change even though they generate almost no greenhouse gas is a glaring injustice which also triggers anger and outrage over those who seek to ignore it.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. The London games mark the 24th anniversary of my winning two golds and setting the world record in the heptathlon. Someone is going to want it records are made to be broken – it's only a matter of time. I hope mine will outlive me.
  • 2. Marriage is the most natural state of man and… the state in which you will find solid happiness.
  • 3. The day before the anniversary of D-Day we lost a man who was equaled by few and surpassed by none as a leader in the cause of freedom: Ronald Reagan.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Vitality is radiated from exceptional art and architecture.
  • 2. We shape our buildings thereafter they shape us.
  • 3. It is impossible as impossible as to raise the dead to restore anything that has ever been great or beautiful in architecture. That which I have insisted upon as the life of the whole that spirit which is given only by the hand and eye of the workman can never be recalled.
