We must combine the toughness of the serpent with the softness of the dove, a tough mind and a tender heart.

An eye for an eye, and the whole world would be blind.

Kahlil Gibran

The boy reached through to the Soul of the World, and saw that it was part of the Soul of God. And he saw that the Soul of God was his own soul. And that he, a boy, could perform miracles.

Paulo Coelho

Sir Thomas Browne

I just want to be rich and famous.

My mum was very conscious about fashion and my dad was born into the tailoring tradition, so fashion has always been my life, although now, really, I wear the same thing - just in different weights - light and heavy cashmere in winter and cotton in summer.

Domenico Dolce

Nobody ever did anything very foolish except from some strong principle.

Lord Melbourne
