They sat quietly together for a few minutes, Joe holding Fiona's hand, Fiona sniffling. No flowery words, no platitudes passed between them. Joe would have done anything to ease her suffering, but he knew nothing he might do, or say, could. Her grief...

Butch Cassidy: Who's the best lawman? Sundance Kid: The best, how? You mean toughest? Or easiest to bribe? Butch Cassidy: Toughest. Sundance Kid: Joe Lefors. Butch Cassidy: Got to be. Sundance Kid: Lefors never leaves Wyoming, never. You know that. B...
Louis could never shake the suspicion that some people, whether consciously or not, called the storm to themselves.
At the age of 16, something happened with my finger and the doctor told me, you never can be a organist or pianist, so think about what you do with music.
When I see myself in the videogame it's amazing how realistic I look. This is the most authentic and realistic soccer game I have ever seen. It is like I'm looking in a mirror. The attention to detail is incredible.
I love surfing, rock climbing, cycling - all that stuff. But it's just amazing that I can inspire people with my running. It's humbling, really.

When I was in architecture school at Princeton, the worst thing you could say about someone was that they were eclectic.
The architecture profession has lost a lot of its integrity, especially in the USA. The general architect here has no scruples, no ambitions.
I went into architecture a little as 'Peck's Bad Boy.' It allowed me to be a critic in a socially condoned way.
Modernist architecture and town planning is inimical to human beings... based on the Darwinian concept that evolution is open ended, that there must always be something new and better.
