I am especially grateful that I have been able to keep my own style over the decades, in spite of the many changes that have taken place in the world of fashion and in its business.

I am like a freight train. Working on the details, twisting them and playing with them over the years, but always staying on the same track.

In the most civilized and progressive countries freedom of discussion is recognized as a fundamental principle.

Only where there is pecuniary equality can the distinction of merit stand out.

Criminals are dumb as stumps. If they were smart they could go be investment bankers. Or judges.

It takes a trained and discerning researcher to keep the goal in sight, and to detect evidence of the creeping progress toward it.

Russian talk of political evil is as natural as eating.

Keep walking and keep smiling.
