I saw no reason why childhood shouldn't last forever. So I created clothes that worked and moved and allowed people to run, to jump, to leap, to retain their precious freedom.

The fashionable woman wears clothes. The clothes don't wear her.

Only paper flowers are afraid of the rain.

Risk it, go for it. Life always gives you another chance, another go at it. It's very important to take enormous risks.

Fashion is not frivolous. It is a part of being alive today.

Rules are invented for lazy people who don't want to think for themselves.

Fashion, as we knew it, is over; people wear now exactly what they feel like wearing.

Fashion is a tool... to compete in life outside the home. People like you better, without knowing why, because people always react well to a person they like the looks of.

Being young is greatly overestimated ... Any failure seems so total. Later on you realize you can have another go.

Fashion should be a game.

One of the things I've learned is never to horde ideas, because either they are not so relevant or they've gone stale. Whatever it is, pour it out.

He who grows not in the knowledge of Jesus, refuses to be blessed.

Courage is sustained by calling up anew the vision of the goal.

Hillary Clinton is still - she's such a private person.

True courage comes not just from feeling confident and strong, but from being the honest, authentic expression in yourself. Think about how audacious it is to really believe in yourself.

A man should have two wives: one to love and one to sew on his buttons.

I am amused to see from my window here how busily a man has divided and staked off his domain. God must smile at his puny fences running hither and thither everywhere over the land.

Compromise is when you do what I tell you and I do what I want. ~Tiny Cooper

And to me, I had come out of Texas, and during that time was when I realized that a lot of people in Nashville, their idea of what country music was was not the same as mine.

In speaking of Jesus, I must speak about Christianity because I do not think it possible or profitable to divide the two.

The revolution eats its own. Capitalism re-creates itself.
