When you discover that all happiness is inside you, the wanting and needing are over, and life gets very exciting.

Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. You don't have to like it... it's just easier if you do.

Fashion as King is sometimes a very stupid ruler.

The second I learned to read in first grade, when I was 5, I preferred it to life. And I still do.

I'm just crazy about Tiffany's!
