I am convinced that you don't need to spend a fortune to look like a million.

We look our best in subdued colors, sophisticated cuts, and a general air of sleek understatement.

If I had the power, I would ban leggings.

I like femininity, not of the devout, but of the self-assured, cool and sophisticated kind.

I am convinced that there can be luxury in simplicity.

I think there is always a need for pure design. With pure design, you don't need so much decoration.

I feel very strongly that clothes that fit well make a person feel better. It's maybe half the value of the merchandise.

In the end, you can' t talk to everyone.

One glass of water doesn't equal another. One may just appease the thirst, the other you may enjoy thoroughly. In Japan, people know about this difference.

It may sound ambitious, but I really hope that modern design will spread all around the globe.

I sometimes feel that a pattern is almost a fashion statement in itself.

Out of many thousands among men, one may endeavor for perfection, and of those who have achieved perfection, hardly one knows Me in truth.

Man's inhumanity to man is not the last word. The truth lies deeper. It is economic slavery, the savage struggle for a crumb, that has converted mankind into wolves and sheep.

When I'm playing guitar, I just try and put those words into lyrics and just try a few things. It's all over the place.

Nature is full of genius, full of divinity.

If we are always arriving and departing, it is also true that we are eternally anchored. One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things.

In the past, Ive visited remote places - North Korea, Ethiopia, Easter Island - partly as a way to visit remote states of mind: remote parts of myself that I wouldnt ordinarily explore.

When thirsty grief in wine we steep, When healths and draughts go free, Fishes, that tipple in the deep, Know no such liberty.

The leaf of every tree brings a message from the unseen world. Look, every falling leaf is a blessing.

What you see on the field is my job.

'I am insecure' means: I can't cope on my own. The odds are overwhelming. I can't resist them on my own. I need us to join forces, stand shoulder to shoulder, march hand in hand.
