  • 1. I shall not grow conservative with age.
  • 2. Middle age is youth without levity and age without decay.
  • 3. A great age of literature is perhaps always a great age of translations.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I just think we're living in a time of massive amazing change like the Industrial Revolution on acid.
  • 2. Changing my body has given me the ability to do all these amazing things that I never in a million years imagined I could do.
  • 3. One of the most amazing things about mathematics is the people who do math aren't usually interested in application because mathematics itself is truly a beautiful art form. It's structures and patterns and that's what we love and that's what we get off on.

3 Anger

  • 1. When anger rushes unrestrained to action like a hot steed it stumbles on its way. The man of thought strikes deepest and strikes safely.

4 Anniversary

5 Architecture

  • 1. Those who look for the laws of Nature as a support for their new works collaborate with the creator.
  • 2. I've always liked traveling around Europe and seeing the architecture. The buildings in capital cities have been there for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years. Some look better than the new ones.
