  • 2. As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body but can never be so in mind.
  • 3. One already feels like an anachronism writing novels in the age of what-ever-this-is-the-age-of but touring to promote them feels doubly anachronistic.

2 Amazing

  • 3. I look up to Mick Jagger because he's an amazing performer and he's such an individual. I respect him and admire him eternally.

4 Anniversary

  • 2. We can't forget what happened on May 4th 1970 when four students gave up their lives because they had the American constitutional right of peaceful protest. They gave up their lives. And to sing that song in that spot on that anniversary was very emotional for us.
  • 3. Love grows more tremendously full swift poignant as the years multiply.

5 Architecture

  • 1. The work of art shows people new directions and thinks of the future. The house thinks of the present.
  • 2. We require from buildings two kinds of goodness: first the doing their practical duty well: then that they be graceful and pleasing in doing it.
  • 3. In architecture the idea degenerated. Design allows a more direct and pleasurable route.
