“I didn’t really know what I wanted to do, but I knew the woman I wanted to become.”

Beauty is perfect in its imperfections, so you just have to go with the imperfections.

Italy will always have the best food.

If you’re a good person, the goodness will continue through your descendants.

If you like trekking, go to the Himalayas or Peru. I love those kinds of trips. But it all depends on your own life and what you like and what you expect.

You are the one that possesses the keys to your being. You carry the passport to your own happiness.

The biggest mistake a woman can make is not to be herself in public or private.

We need to encourage designers and agencies to be responsible. We need to make sure everyone is sensitive to the issues. But to calculate the girls’ body mass – I personally think it is demeaning.

My favorite days are the ones where I deal only with my own team, design, marketing, working on the next accessories collection.

Insecurity is a waste of time.

One of the most important things about fashion is to dress as well as you can, look as attractive as you can, and at the same time be comfortable with yourself. Be easy about your clothes; forget about them.

Style is something each of us already has, all we need to do is find it.

I wanted to be a certain kind of woman. I became that kind of woman.

The older you get, the more you should learn to love life and appreciate the beauty that comes with age.

It’s the woman you should remember, not the dress, ever.

Don’t be afraid of your own strength.

I always wanted to be a femme fatale. Even when I was a young girl, I never really wanted to be a girl. I wanted to be a woman.

Goals are harmful unless they guide you to make specific behaviors easier to do. Don’t focus your motivation on doing Behavior X. Instead, focus on making Behavior X easier to do.

Our whole goal in life is to give you something you didn’t know you wanted and then once you get it, you can’t imagine your life without it… and you can count on apple doing that.

It is when things go hardest, when life becomes most trying, that there is greatest need for having a fixed goal.

Let your joy be in your journey, not in some distant goal.

The essence of the Way is detachment. And the goal of those who practice is freedom from appearances.

Something you want badly enough can always be gained. No matter how fierce the enemy, how remote the beautiful lady, or how carefully guarded the treasure, there is always a means to the goal for the earnest seeker. The unseen help of the guardian gods of heaven and earth assure fulfillment.

Peace as a goal is an ideal which will not be contested by any government or nation, not even the most belligerent.

The specific goals we set for ourselves are almost always subsidiary to our long range intentions.
