“Architecture is unnecessarily difficult. It's very tough.”
“Who can doubt that God created us to be happy, and thereto made us to love one another? It is plainly written as Gospel. The heart is sometimes so embittered that nothing but Divine love can sweeten it, so enraged that devotion can only becalm it, and so broken down that it takes all the forces of heavenly hope to raise it. In short, the religion of Jesus Christ is the only sure and controlling power over sin.”

“I also write plays, so I understand the writers mind, and how obsessed you can get writing.”
“So all the system was running down and collapsing. Mrs. Thatcher became the leader of the Conservative Party in February 1975, and she clearly wanted to strike out and do something different.”
“It's wrong for parents to bury their children. It should be the other way around.”
“Every man should keep a fair-sized cemetery in which to bury the faults of his friends.”
