I got down to business and started writing furiously.

The world is eaten up by boredom. You can’t see it all at once. It is like dust. You go about and never notice, you breathe it in, you eat and drink it.

A little grit in the eye destroyeth the sight of the very heavens, and a little malice or envy a world of joys. One wry principle in the mind is of infinite consequence Picture Quote #1

Heroes are never perfect, but they’re brave, they’re authentic, they’re courageous, determined, discreet, and they’ve got grit Picture Quote #1

It doesn’t matter if people are playing jazz or writing poetry. If they want to be successful, they need to learn how to persist and persevere and keep on working until the work is done...

A leader should have higher grit and tenacity, and be able to endure what the employees can’t Picture Quote #1

When you get into fashion, when you’re not yet working in fashion, you have this idea about what the fashion world is: that it’s very glamorous, it’s the red carpet, it’s very editorial.

How long are you willing to be in it to become successful? Picture Quote #1
