“There is no memory or retentive faculty based on lasting impression. What we designate as memory is but increased responsiveness to repeated stimuli.”

There is no energy in matter other than that received from the environment.

The gift of mental power comes from God, Divine Being, and if we concentrate our minds on that truth, we become in tune with this great power. My Mother had taught me to seek all truth in the Bible.

Nature may reach the same result in many ways.

I am trying to awake the energy contained in the air. These are the main sources of energy. What is considered as empty space is just a manifestation of matter that is not awakened.

The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.

The beauty and the scent of roses can be used as a medicine and the sun rays as a food.

The Buddhist expresses it in one way, the Christian in another, but both say the same: We are all one.

Though free to think and act, we are held together, like the stars in the firmament, with ties inseparable. These ties cannot be seen, but we can feel them.

The opinion of the world does not affect me. I have placed as the real values in my life what follows when I am dead.

Inventors don’t have time for married life.

Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when ideas are born.

The economic transmission of power without wires is of all-surpassing importance to man.

We all make mistakes, and it is better to make them before we begin.

Ere many generations pass, our machinery will be driven by a power obtainable at any point of the universe.

In the twenty-first century, the robot will take the place which slave labor occupied in ancient civilization.

All those years of skating and dancing have carried over. I can’t design anything without thinking of how a woman’s body will look and move when she’s wearing it.

I do think I know more about clothes than any 500 designers, because there’s nothing like wearing them. You buy them, you study them, and you start to understand how they’re crafted.

I started at the very highest level so the upper end is something I know very well. I know it instinctively. But all the years I was designing, it frustrated me that I could reach so few women.

I like the gritty parts of fashion, the design, the studio, the pictures.

In both business and personal life, I’ve always found that travel inspires me more than anything else I do. Evidence of the languages, cultures, scenery, food, and design sensibilities that I discover all over the world can be found in every piece of my jewelry.

There was no relationship between a wedding dress and fashion. There was no good taste, either. I realized that I could make an impression in terms of changing and readdressing the whole industry of bridal.

The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line.

Let’s be realistic, how many people are buying a $2,000 skirt? I love to design things that people can actually buy. I’m staggered by what a boot costs today.
