Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. Science cannot tell theology how to construct a doctrine of creation but you can't construct a doctrine of creation without taking account of the age of the universe and the evolutionary character of cosmic history.
  • 2. Just call me a family man and an actor who digs his whole scene side interests and all. Just say I feel mighty good at the ripe old age of 27.
  • 3. The Border Ballads for instance and the Robin Hood Ballads clearly suppose a state of society which is nothing but a very circumscribed and not very important heroic age.

2 Amazing

  • 1. With most British actors it's amazing. I think they start with the character on the outside and work in.
  • 2. It's amazing. My kids have grown me in ways I never knew possible. The patience I've received and the love I get from them is just amazing.
  • 3. Stevie Ray Vaughan was very intense. Maybe that's what caught everybody's attention. As a player he didn't do anything amazing.

3 Anger

  • 1. The poor monkey quietly seated on the ground seemed to be in sore trouble at this display of anger.
  • 2. Fantastic tyrant of the amorous heart. How hard thy yoke how cruel thy dart. Those escape your anger who refuse your sway and those are punished most who most obey.
  • 3. Men are fair and they have learned not to personalize anger – they can disagree with you and argue to the bone but afterward they still consider you a nice person with whom the underlying human relationship need not be altered.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Since I wrote to you last we have got our chapel beautifully lighted with gas and have had our anniversary.
  • 2. But to sustain a marriage for 50 years you have to get real a little bit and find someone who is understanding and who you can grow with. My mom always says 'Marry the man who loves you a millimeter more.'
  • 3. More marriages might survive if the partners realized that sometimes the better comes after the worse.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Architecture is a visual art and the buildings speak for themselves.
  • 2. You might say that when you step inside you're entering a honorific space but that's something totally different than experiencing it. And in architecture the experience comes first. That has the deepest effect on us.
  • 3. There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds.
