I've had moments where I realize my body isn't going to withstand many more seasons, but I am very satisfied with my career and I am trying not to look at retirement as a sad thing.
I am a teacher, and I am proud of it. At Cornell University I have taught primarily undergraduates, and indeed almost every year since 1966 have taught first-year general chemistry.
You have to realise that I am the third out of six children, and I am raised with very strong core values and a very strong upbringing. I always put myself in other people's shoes.
I am not a genius, I am just curious. I ask many questions. and when the answer is simple, then God is answering.
I am always happy, because whenever I am sad I just know that somewhere, somehow, there is a person who is PUSHING a door that says PULL.
Yes, I am anti-Christianity. Yes, I am anti-Islam. Don't call me a bigot; I have reason to be fearful of these death cults.
I am at times prisoner to the darkness. Light will find a way in I am always assured. The sun has not died. The moon has not died. I live.
Looking back at all the people I have insulted, I am mildly surprised that I am still allowed to exist.
I am not 100% English, I am actually part Italian and even part Hungarian. Therefore I feel very much part of Europe both in my upbringing and outlook.
For whom am I waiting? I don't know, at this point in my life there doesn't seem to be anybody that I am really waiting for, hoping for.
It doesn't matter if people perceive me as being a little strange. I think overall, even when I am on stage, when people see me, I am setting an example.
I am not a Sufi, but I follow the Sufi.
I don't think I'd change the path that's got me where I am today.
I am reconciled to my death, but I detest the mode.
I like to be who I am.
I know who I am.
I am a romantic, I admit it.
I am no mother, and I won't be one.
I drink therefore I am.
I'm kind of feeling ashamed now that I never get bullied. Everyone keeps asking me, but I don't, and it's kind of annoying. I wish I could say I did get bullied, because then everyone would feel sorry for me.
HELLO, my name is your potential. But you can call me impossible. I am the missed opportunities. I am the expectations you will never fulfil. I am always taunting you, regardless of how hard you try, how hard you hope.
