Vanessa Carlton

To be human means to feel inferior.

Alfred Adler

That is the eternal folly of man. To be chasing after the sweet flesh, without realizing that it is simply a pretty cover for the bones.

Neil Gaiman

Euripides

It's the best way of telling the truth; it's a process of producing grand, beautiful, well-ordered lies that tell more truth than any assemblage of facts. Beyond that [it's] delight in, and play with, language; also, a curiously intimate way of communicating with people whom you will never meet.

Julian Barnes

Live as brave men and if fortune is adverse, front its blows with brave hearts.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

I design for the woman who loves being a woman.

Diane von Furstenberg

I see that the fashion wears out more apparel than the man.

William Shakespeare

[S]he stood for some moments gazing at the sisters, with affection beaming in one eye, and calculation shining out of the other.

Charles Dickens
