Francis Bacon

For knowledge itself is power.

A healthy body is a guest chamber for the soul: a sick body is a prison.

Truth is the daughter of time, not of authority.

There is a wisdom in this beyond the rules of physic: a man’s own observation what he finds good of and what he finds hurt of is the best physic to preserve health.

Natural abilities are like natural plants, that need pruning by study; and studies themselves do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience.

None of the affections have been noted to fascinate and bewitch but envy.

A girl should be two things: who and what she wants.

To me, it’s very important to follow that tradition and try to find those champions, role models for the next generation.

I like things that are worn, like an old pick-up truck that’s stood by you, hauled wood or hay, moved your neighbor’s furniture, carried kids and dogs. It’s a little dented and the paint’s a little faded, but that patina is evidence of a history of work and a kind of honesty, which to me is very American.

I wear the same outfit or, at least, a different copy of it almost every day.

It’s an addiction. I love clothes. I like to go down Melrose and look in all the windows and I go to different flea markets. I have lots of costumes. You never know when you’re going to have to dress up like a milkmaid from the 1600s.

I think the Kardashian look is exotic. Curvy. Definitely sexual. And um, playful.

Peach smells sooooo good and perfect for summer. Vibes is sultry and fresh!

I dyed my hair blonde when I was 14. My mom was not happy. But I love being blonde.

I’m going to Adidas, ‘Adidas, I know you’ve never made a shoe under $50 but we have to make a shoe that costs $30 and it’s going to be coolest shoe of all.’

I buy my clothes at J.Crew online. I’m a very casual guy.

It was heartbreaking for me to have to leave Nike, but they refused to allow me to get royalty on my shoe and I knew I had the hottest shoe in the world.

This Calvin Klein campaign is really a dream come true!!!! I mean…. Fendi and Calvin in the same year! I never would have dreamed of this life!

I don’t care what you think about me. I don’t think about you at all.

A fine timepiece is part of dressing like a gentleman. When I first made a little money, I bought my first watch which was a Rolex Daytona. It was just one of those things that said I was successful.

I like a colorful sock. I’m a sock man.
