The fashion industry [is] built on, and thrives on, our collective insecurity.

Your closet needs to be a place of joy and celebration of who are you now - not who you were.

Don't let fear or insecurity stop you from trying new things. Believe in yourself. Do what you love. And most importantly, be kind to others, even if you don't like them.

You should feel beautiful and you should feel safe. What you surround yourself with should bring you peace of mind and peace of spirit.

Confidence is the best accessory. It can make or break an outfit.

Clothes allow you to see yourself in a different light. They can transform you instantly and have a very real, visceral impact. Clothes become symbolic of who we are.

Texture is something we forget - it makes outfits look very expensive. You can do a monochromatic outfit, if you're afraid of things that are more colorful and printed, and still create interest.

Rules like 'don't wear white after Labor Day' or 'shoes matching the handbag' are antiquated. Modern women should feel free to experiment.

Style offers concrete rules you can follow. You can use it as a resource rather than a barrier to feeling good about yourself.

The key to personal style is understanding your individual beauty enough to know which looks will work for you and which probably won't.

Style applies to a lifestyle. It's not about being told this is trendy, you must do it. Now people have more access than ever before.

Each moment of love is eternal.Each moment of life is essential.

People always have choices. They might not always have options, but they do have choices.

Fear is a state of mind. There is nothing real about it. Welcome it in, 60 seconds passes, and as your guest politely ask it to leave. It will leave every single time!!

A good threat is worth a thousand tests.

Great literature, if we read it well, opens us up to the world and makes us more sensitive to it, as if we acquired eyes that could see through things and ears that could hear smaller sounds.

We refer to the TLC Match as totally lacking coolness.

For me personally, I need to anticipate pressure and tuck the ball away.

The body grows by food and work, the mind by use, and the soul through joy and pain.

Never drink to feel better, only drink to feel even better.

Alas! must it ever be so? Do we stand in our own light, wherever we go, And fight our own shadows forever?
