This is just what I have thought when I have seen slaves at work – they seem to go through the motions of labor without putting strength into them. They keep their powers in reserve for their own use at night perhaps.

1 Age

  • 1. We pay when old for the excesses of youth.
  • 2. If you love somebody you love them. My parents had a 25-year age gap between them and my mum was the breadwinner my dad the house husband. I'm a strong believer that a good relationship can work whatever the situation.
  • 3. I have always paid income tax. I object only when it reaches a stage when I am threatened with having nothing left for my old age – which is due to start next Tuesday or Wednesday.

2 Amazing

  • 1. It was amazing to me that all of a sudden I was hearing my music on the radio and coming out of cars.
  • 2. It is quite amazing what I didn't feel after a while. I didn't really want to feel things.
  • 3. Nancy Lopez has always been a role model of mine… so to have the opportunity to play for her and spend time with her has been amazing.

3 Anger

  • 1. Revenge is often like biting a dog because the dog bit you.
  • 2. The fear really hits you. That's what you feel first. And then it's the anger and frustration. Part of the problem is how little we understand about the ultimate betrayal of the body when it rebels against itself.
  • 3. Anger and hate against one we love steels our hearts but contempt or pity leaves us silent and ashamed.

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. So while an incredible amount of progress has been made on this fifth anniversary I wanted to come here and tell the people of this city directly: My administration is going to stand with you – and fight alongside you – until the job is done. Until New Orleans is all the way back all the way.
  • 3. One should believe in marriage as in the immortality of the soul.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Writing about music is like dancing about architecture.
  • 2. Doctrines provide an architecture for both Republican and Democrat presidents to carry out policies.
  • 3. For many years I have lived uncomfortably with the belief that most planning and architectural design suffers for lack of real and basic purpose. The ultimate purpose it seems to me must be the improvement of mankind.
