Topics Index

1 Age

  • 1. Never say never but the thought of electively cutting oneself is beyond my grasp and I also object to it politically. Denying the lines on our faces makes a comment about age and wisdom I don't care to make.
  • 2. We can no longer waste time and money. Every day more than 2 000 girls in America age 15-19 give birth – in the wealthiest most educated nation in the world! Neither you nor I should accept this statistic.
  • 3. This is the curse of our age even the strangest aberrations are no cure for boredom.

2 Amazing

  • 1. My time at Honda was amazing. Some of my best times in Formula One actually. I might not have won races just one race but I had a lot of fun.
  • 2. The real art is not to come up with extraordinary clever words but to make ordinary simple words do extraordinary things. To use the language that we all use and to make amazing things occur.
  • 3. I have never had trouble with any actor being able to visualise things. They are amazing. As long as you have your monster head on a long stick so you can hold it up there and you can wave it around and let them see it and explain it to them they are just great.

3 Anger

  • 1. I was shocked at the anger toward me.
  • 2. A man who has never made a woman angry is a failure in life.
  • 3. Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. The concept of two people living together for 25 years without a serious dispute suggests a lack of spirit only to be admired in sheep.
  • 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. Why does a woman work ten years to change a man's habits and then complain that he's not the man she married?

5 Architecture

  • 1. Consider the momentous event in architecture when the wall parted and the column became.
  • 2. Organic architecture seeks superior sense of use and a finer sense of comfort expressed in organic simplicity.
  • 3. No architect troubled to design houses that suited people who were to live in them because that would have meant building a whole range of different houses. It was far cheaper and above all timesaving to make them identical.
