“I truly, truly believe that beauty is something that comes from within.”

The human race is like a bird and it needs both wings to be able to fly.

Don’t let anyone tell you what you can and can’t do or achieve. Do what you want to do and be who you want to be.

The difficulty for me is that I’m interested in so many different things.

I think women are scared of feeling powerful and strong and brave sometimes.

I always keep cards people send me. I have a whole wall covered with them.

Gender equality, historically has been predominantly a women’s movement for women.

I’m a multidimensional person and that’s the freedom of fashion: that you’re able to reinvent yourself through how you dress and how you cut your hair or whatever.

It’s not the absence of fear. It’s overcoming it. Sometimes you’ve got to blast through and have faith.

Feeling beautiful has nothing to do with what you look like, I promise.

What gets scary is when your self-worth is tied up in what strangers think of you.

As a child I grew up with a school curriculum that totally glossed over British colonialism and British slavery.

Together we can spread our message and support strong people of all genders.

I really want to write a novel. I also want to learn to play the mandolin.

Rape is not just a physical, violent act perpetrated against one victim, it is an assault on humanity.

It is my belief that there is a greater understanding than ever that women need to be equal participants in our homes, in our societies, in our governments, and in our workplaces.

All I can do is follow my instincts, because I’ll never please everyone.

Adornment, what a science! Beauty, what a weapon! Modesty, what elegance!

Beauty is not a need but an ecstasy. It is not a mouth thirsting nor an empty hand stretched forth, But rather a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted.

At the heart of all beauty lies something inhuman.

Elegance is refusal.

Beauty is being the best possible version of yourself, inside and out.

Elegance is the only beauty that never fades.

The ground’s generosity takes in our compost and grows beauty! Try to be more like the ground.

Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love.
