“Fate always wins, for our own heart within us Imperiously furthers its designs.”

He who considers too much will perform little.

O that it might remain eternally green, The beautiful time of youthful love.

I am my own heaven and hell!

The world’s history is constant, like the laws of nature, and simple, like the souls of men. The same conditions continually produce the same results.

The first great law is to obey.

In love, Jealousy is the great exaggerator.

Alas! When duty grows thy law, enjoyment fades away.

Love is the reward of love.

Weep, for the light is dead.

Will it, and set to work briskly.

Fear of death is worse than dying.

If you would attain to your highest, go look upon a flower;what the flower does willessly, that do willingly.

Modest humility is beauty’s crown.

What’s old collapses, times change, And new life blossoms in the ruins.

It is through beauty that we arrive at freedom.

From the moment fear begins I have ceased to fear.

I help design my own tennis clothes.

Ever since I was young I loved making things and being part of the design process.

I find a lot of inspiration in street style and watching women walk, the way they wear things and what they’re wearing.

Through my travels, I find inspiration in street style and how young women create their individual looks and identity.

I have designs I like applied to my helmet, motorcycle, riding suits, gloves,and boots. I have a designer friend of mine put the designs on them for me. I think a livery on the helmet is significant in expressing a rider’s personality.

I have always had an interest in fashion and design and I appreciate style and timelessness within my footwear and accessories both on and off the court

I love jotting down ideas for my blog, so I doodle or take notes on all kinds of stuff that inspires me: the people I meet, boutiques I visit, a florist that just gave me a great idea for an interior-design project, things like that.

For someone who likes tattoos, the most precious thing is bare skin.
