I hate ugliness. You know I'm allergic to ugliness.

I did NOT have three thousand pairs of shoes, I had one thousand and sixty.

People say I'm extravagant because I want to be surrounded by beauty. But tell me, who wants to be surrounded by garbage?

They went into my closets looking for skeletons, but thank God all they found were shoes, beautiful shoes.

Sometimes when we are generous in small, barely detectable ways it can change someone else's life forever.

Satisfaction consists in the cutting off of the causes of the sin. Thus, fasting is the proper antidote to lust; prayer to pride, to envy, anger and sloth; alms to covetousness.
