欢笑情如旧，萧疏鬓已斑。 — 淮上喜会梁州故人 [唐] 韦应物 江汉曾为客，相逢每醉还。 浮云一别后，流水十年间。 欢笑情如旧，萧疏鬓已斑。 何因不归去，淮上对秋山。

叶下斜阳照水，卷轻浪、沉沉千里。

西园公子名无忌，南国佳人号莫愁。

丈夫生世会几时，安能蹀躞垂羽翼？

亲朋无一字，老病有孤舟。

但屈指西风几时来，又不道、流年暗中偷换。

肠已断，泪难收。相思重上小红楼。

怕人寻问， 咽泪装欢。 瞒， 瞒， 瞒！

薄悻不来门半掩， 斜阳， 负你残春泪几行。

数声风笛离亭晚，君向潇湘我向秦。

新妆宜面下朱楼，深锁春光一院愁。

落日松风起，还家草露晞。

菩提只向心觅，何劳向外求玄？

翠袖低垂笼玉笋，红裙斜曳露金莲。

I had a great career. I have no reason to complain. It's the way it goes in nature. You slow down. And I believe I lasted a lot longer than a lot of people.

I feel that after all those horrible reviews and jokes, I wasn't crazy all these years to stand up for the music I believe in. This album has proven that somewhere in the human race, the human heart is still racing and breaking and I am so grateful.

When you see people who are really good at game shows, the one common attribute is a cool head under pressure: an ability to perform as well in the studio, surrounded by lights and noise, as you do on your couch.

When you think about archaeology, archaeology is the only field that allows us to tell the story of 99 percent of our history prior to 3,000 B.C. and writing.

If people connect me with the Romantics in general, they probably connect me most with Keats. But Wordsworth is the poet I admire above all others.

Sunken gardens should be laid out under the supervision of an intelligent landscape architect; and even then should have a reason for being sunken other than a whim or increase in costliness.

The chief lesson I have learned in a long life is that the only way you can make a man trustworthy is to trust him and the surest way to make him untrustworthy is to distrust him.
