Rationalism is the enemy of art though necessary as a basis for architecture.

Prose is architecture not interior decoration and the Baroque is over.

Architecture is not an inspirational business it's a rational procedure to do sensible and hopefully beautiful things that's all.

This year as we celebrate the 230th anniversary of America's independence please remember the symbols that are sacred to this country. Fly Old Glory high and show your respect and admiration for this great nation and the values we hold dear.

And currently there are four to five new works in the pipeline for upcoming celebrations such as the Sydney 2000 Olympics Australian Federation my 50th Birthday and Sydney Dance Company's 25th Anniversary.

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.

Married people from my generation are like an endangered species!

A wedding anniversary is the celebration of love trust partnership tolerance and tenacity. The order varies for any given year.

I don't have the feeling of being motivated by anger revenge or frustration.

In the heat of our campaigns we have all become accustomed to a little anger and exaggeration. Yet on the whole our political process has served us well.
