Saint Quotes

I’ve spent a lot on clothes. I’m not kidding when I say I could have bought several country homes with the money. I’ve also given a lot away over time.

Travis Alexander was a good guy. Was he a saint? No. But he was somebody who was really, really invested in helping other people and making this world a better place. Everything he did, even the car he drove, was a sign of him trying to be a force for good in this world Picture Quote #1

I worked in fashion, but I worked more in the sales side of fashion than in design. I was an assistant buyer for a department store back in the 70s and the early years of Saint Laurent. And I used to have a lot of private clients that I bought for Picture Quote #1

In other words, science tells us that Adam and Eve are fictions. That Saint Paul or Uncle Tom Cobley and all thought otherwise is irrelevant. They were wrong Picture Quote #1

Some couture collections have everything including the kitchen sink! Everything gets thrown on to make it look expensive. I find it grotesque when clothes hit you in the face and there’s no room for fault. But I don’t expect to turn things around all by myself. I’m not a saint Picture Quote #1

Everything about me is a contradiction, and so is everything about everybody else. We are made out of oppositions; we live between two poles. There’s a philistine and an aesthete in all of us, and a murderer and a saint. You don’t reconcile the poles. You just recognize them Picture Quote #1

All backups take their cue from Elrod Hendricks, the patron saint of erstwhile catchers Picture Quote #1

I go to Saint Barth in the French West Indies for two weeks each year. That place is amazing. Amazing people, beautiful beaches, great wine, wonderful harbors... It’s incredibly romantic Picture Quote #1

If you had the chance to visit paradise or heaven, would you? Are you thinking you’ll get another chance later? What if you reach the Pearly Gates, and Saint Peter says, ‘Hey, you had plenty of opportunities to spend time in heavenly places down there. Sorry Picture Quote #1

Minimalism? It is something I appreciate as an art form but leave to others - unless you count a collection of warhorse-workwear Yves Saint Laurent trouser suits. Maybe my penchant for hippie-deluxe eccentricity came from an escapist dream of a different world. It was tough being a working mom in the 1970s Picture Quote #1

My very first gig was with the Sex Pistols, and it was also our first-ever gig. It was a very short set, and it was at Saint Martins College of Art in 1975. We were opening up for a band called Bazooka Joe, and their bass player at the time was Adam Ant, who went on to form Adam and the Ants Picture Quote #1

I love to dwell on the thought that the artist is next in divinity to the saint. He, like the saint, performs miracles Picture Quote #1

My mother attended the local church, Saint Nicolas, and consequently, I attended that church and its Sunday School. My only prizes from the Sunday School were ‘for attendance,’ so I presume my atheism, which developed when I left home to attend university, although latent, was discernible Picture Quote #1

It’s very, very corrupting to the spirit, doing comedy. And you have to be almost a saint, like Jack Benny was, like Steve Martin is, to avoid the corrupting of it, because there’s very little work where the actual work and the reward are simultaneous, and comedy is that Picture Quote #1

I love Yves Saint Laurent. I love Chanel. And Versace! Such beautiful gowns! Picture Quote #1

And as Rhonda told the story, she thought: this is how the past gets passed down. This is how memories are made. Half-invented, embellished, given a touch of whimsy. Daniel would be a saint now that he was dead. A beautiful man who made his child wings Picture Quote #1

I’m not claiming I’m a saint, but I have a genuine, genuine belief in trying to help others Picture Quote #1

Patriotism should be sought for and will be found in right living. No man can be a good Latter-day Saint and not be true to the best interests and general welfare of his country Picture Quote #1

My parents, Mary Agnes Smith and Rowland Smith, both had to work since their early teens, she in the holiday boarding house of her mother and he in his father’s market garden in Marton Moss, a village on the south side of Blackpool, just north of Saint Anne’s-on-Sea Picture Quote #1
