The wise musicians are those who play what they can master.

Gray skies are just clouds passing over.

The fitness of the pupil is shown in his love for the acquisition of knowledge, his willingness to receive instruction, his reverence for learned and virtuous men, his attendance upon the teacher, and his execution of orders.

Salvation is the state of emancipation from the endurance of pain and subjection to birth and death, and of the life of liberty and happiness in the immensity of God.

No human heart is denied empathy. No religion can demolish that by indoctrination. No culture, no nation and nationalism - nothing can touch it because it is empathy.

God is absolutely holy and wise. His nature, attributes, and power are all holy. He is omnipresent, incorporeal, unborn, immense, omniscient, omnipotent, merciful and just. He is the maker, protector, and destroyer of worlds.

Though music transcends language, culture and time, and though notes are the same, Indian music is unique because it is evolved, sophisticated and melodies are defined.

Experience is the only prophecy of wise men.

To love for the sake of being loved is human, but to love for the sake of loving is angelic.

There is a woman at the begining of all great things.

If one had but a single glance to give the world, one should gaze on Istanbul.

The more I see of the representatives of the people, the more I admire my dogs.

Grief knits two hearts in closer bonds than happiness ever can; and common sufferings are far stronger links than common joys.

Delete the negative; accentuate the positive!

Age and size are only numbers. It's the attitude you bring to clothes that make the difference.

Evening is a time of real experimentation. You never want to look the same way.

I've always been about the power of a woman - accentuating the positive, deleting the negative, whether you're talking her body, her voice or her leadership.

Women should always take care of themselves first. It makes you more equipped to take care of others.

I love building spaces: architecture, furniture, all of it, probably more than fashion. The development procedure is more tactile. It's about space and form and it's something you can share with other people.

I design from instinct. It's the only way I know how to live. What feels good. What feels right. What is needed. Give me a problem and I will approach it creatively, from my gut.

Design and style should work toward making you look good and feel good without a lot of effort so you can get on with the things that matter.

To me, design and style should work toward making you look good and feel good without a lot of effort - so you can get on with the things that matter.

Design is a constant challenge to balance comfort with luxe, the practical with the desirable.

We can believe what we choose. We are answerable for what we choose to believe.

Fear not that thy life shall come to an end, but rather that it shall never have a beginning.

The love of our private friends is the only preparatory exercise for the love of all men.

Let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish.

A great memory is never made synonymous with wisdom, any more than a dictionary would be called a treatise.

It is as absurd to argue men, as to torture them, into believing.

To live is to change, and to be perfect is to have changed often.

Growth is the only evidence of life.

My style motto is pretty classic: you give off a positive energy when you wear what you're most comfortable in.

We work to create a new wave of feminism that is more inclusive. I want others to feel equal. It's so great to see women in positions of power, which is why other artists, such as Marilyn Minter, are so inspirational to me.

My lens and my personality, it's just fluid. The art isn't just in one place.

For me, art doesn't stop at the gallery space.

What's cool is when people send me messages or tag me in their photos, which definitely happens more after a project comes out. The best part, I think, is that the DMs and tags are always from young girls, and reaching them is the most important thing for me.

I was depressed at a very young age - mental illness runs in my family, especially on the female side.

The feminist movement is way bigger than the word. I don't police people on what they call themselves, but equality and a general sense of togetherness are really important to me.

My favorite place to go is Zabriskie Point in Death Valley. If you see it at sunrise and sunset, it's like you're on Mars.

I consider myself endlessly lucky to have access to the Internet and technology. Through it, I've found myself and have been able to join a new discourse of females, young and old, who strive to change the way we look and treat ourselves.

It's so rare to see a woman lose control and also gain it back. Women are always told, 'Oh, be in control of your feelings,' and a woman is never allowed to express her anger without being demonised as being PMS-y.

My mind is changing all the time. I can't live in a space that has a fixed aesthetic. I just need a blank slate when I come home.

Most people have to talk so they won't hear.

The more articulate one is, the more dangerous words become.

There is only one real deprivation... and that is not to be able to give one's gifts to those one loves most.

Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back into the slow circles of nature, is a help. Gardening is an instrument of grace.

No partner in a love relationship... should feel that he has to give up an essential part of himself to make it viable.

Loneliness is the poverty of self; solitude is the richness of self.

A house that does not have one warm, comfy chair in it is soulless.

Your words are my food, your breath my wine. You are everything to me.
