Building Design Isn't Trendy.

Every Decently-made Object, From A House To A Lamp Post To A Bridge, Spoon Or Egg Cup, Is Not Just A Piece Of 'stuff' But A Physical Embodiment Of Human Energy, Testimony To The Magical Ability Of Our Species To Take Raw Materials And Turn Them Into Things Of Use, Value And Beauty.

I'm Terribly Fastidious. I Like Symmetry And Neatness, But My House Is As Chaotic As Any Other Family's.

A Great Deal Of Energy Is Wasted In Hating People, And I Can Honestly Say I've No Wish To Expend Such A Precious Resource On Being Outraged About Anyone.

I'm Driven By Issues, Not Driven To Be Political.

It's Possible To Be Satisfied With A Day's Work Or A Cake, But A Life... What Is A Life But A History Of Events Badly Remembered?
