Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. I think that age as a number is not nearly as important as health. You can be in poor health and be pretty miserable at 40 or 50. If you're in good health you can enjoy things into your 80s.
  • 2. Why should 20-year-olds only be considered sexy? I think we get better with age.
  • 3. Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.

2 Amazing

  • 1. To see a player dunk in women's college basketball is just amazing. It's great to see that the game has reached that level now.
  • 2. After all these years it's still amazing what Obama is allowed to get away with. He says low gas prices in 2009 were caused by a terrible economy but then claims that the lower number of illegal aliens crossing the border is because of his border policies not the same lousy economy.
  • 3. If we get the capabilities NATO along with the European Union can do amazing things.

3 Anger

  • 1. How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.
  • 2. Get mad then get over it.
  • 3. Anger is one of the sinews of the soul.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. The secret of a happy marriage is finding the right person. You know they're right if you love to be with them all the time.
  • 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. Perhaps a hundred people assembled one evening May 15 1876 at the time when the country was celebrating the hundredth anniversary of its political independence.

5 Architecture

  • 1. The new architecture of transparency and lightness comes from Japan and Europe.
  • 2. I see architecture not as Gropius did as a moral venture as truth but as invention in the same way that poetry or music or painting is invention.
  • 3. So what we have tried to do in our later buildings is to try to be completely consistent as a painter is consistent or as a sculptor is consistent. Architecture also must be very consistent.
