Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. It is old age rather than death that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is life's parody whereas death transforms life into a destiny: in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. Death does away with time.
  • 2. Why should society feel responsible only for the education of children and not for the education of all adults of every age?
  • 3. I believe the true function of age is memory. I'm recording as fast as I can.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I like pens. My writing is so amazing there's never a need to erase.
  • 2. With love you should go ahead and take the risk of getting hurt because love is an amazing feeling.
  • 3. You can muck around with different guitars for certain bits but you have to have your own sound. That's your benchmark that's your sound. I also play a Black Beauty. It sounds amazing.

3 Anger

  • 1. On banks I make no apology for attacking spivs and gamblers who did more harm to the British economy than Bob Crow could achieve in his wildest Trotskyite fantasies while paying themselves outrageous bonuses underwritten by the taxpayer. There is much public anger about banks and it is well deserved.
  • 2. What influenced me was Tori Amos who was unapologetic about expressing anger through music and Sinead O'Connor. Those two in particular were really moving for me and very inspiring before I wrote 'Jagged Little Pill.'
  • 3. I may have been the only candidate in America who failed to ride the wave of anti-establishment anger to victory.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. That there's no more important decision in life than who you marry.
  • 2. There is no more lovely friendly and charming relationship communion or company than a good marriage.
  • 3. Next month I will celebrate my 30th anniversary of marriage with my beautiful bride Vicki. Our marriage has been a blessing. I have gained even more respect for the institution over the past 3 decades and will defend it against attack.

5 Architecture

  • 1. The Romans were not inventors of the supporting arch but its extended use in vaults and intersecting barrel shapes and domes is theirs.
  • 2. Opera next to Gothic architecture is one of the strangest inventions of Western man. It could not have been foreseen by any logical process.
  • 3. Great buildings that move the spirit have always been rare. In every case they are unique poetic products of the heart.
