There are two kinds of designers: ones who are very happy locked in their office surrounded by their coterie. The last thing they need to do is to go to a trunk show; they'd go running for the hills. I not only enjoy it, I think, how do you design things that are applicable to life - unless you live it?

It is most necessary to avoid rusticity in any way, whether in material, design, or execution.

George Edmund Street

Just what you want to be, you will be in the end.

Justin Hayward

Love is not of value when this superficial contract must be drawn up, representing the two worlds that enclose us.

Coco J. Ginger

Some broad themes brought me where I am today. At a very young age, my hobby became thinking and finding connections.

Dean Kamen

A word after a word after a word is power.

Margaret Atwood

The tongue is the only instrument that gets sharper with use.

Washington Irving

You ought to be true for the sake of the folks who think you are true. You never should stoop to a deed that your folks think you would not do. If you are false to yourself, be the blemish but small, you have injured your folks; you have been false to them all.

Edgar A. Guest

Every achievement is a servitude. It compels us to a higher achievement.

Albert Camus

What! Would I be turned back from doing a thing that I had determined to do, and that I knew to be right, by the airs and interference of such a person, or any person I may say? No, I have no idea of being so easily persuaded. When I have made up my mind, I have made it.

Jane Austen

Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something: they're trying to find someone who's going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take.

Anthony Robbins

Art owes its origin to Nature herself... this beautiful creation, the world, supplied the first model, while the original teacher was that divine intelligence which has not only made us superior to the other animals, but like God Himself, if I may venture to say it.

Giorgio Vasari

Who among us has the strength to oppose petty egoism, those petty good feelings, pity and remorse?

Ivan Turgenev
