“I've been active all my life. In 1990 I retired from my firm, I.M. Pei & Partners, and for two years I didn't do much. Then I started to get kind of antsy, so I decided, I'm going to do some more work. And I chose to do work outside the U.S. because I've spent 45 years here and I wanted to learn more about what's happening in the rest of the world.” WorldYearsKindTwoWantedHappeningsDecidedWork OutActivePartnersFirmTwo YearsRetired Author:I.

“What was happening was only the working-out of a process that had started years ago. The first step had been a secret, involuntary thought, the second had been the opening of the diary. He had moved from thoughts to words, and now from words to actions. The last step was something that would happen in the Ministry of Love. He had accepted it. The end was contained in the beginning.” YearsFirstsEndsHappensActionLastsProcessSecretStepsHappeningsYears AgoMovedWork OutAcceptedOpeningFirst StepsMinistryDiariesInvoluntary Book:Animal Farm and 1984 Source: Animal Farm and 1984
