Francis Bacon

Truth emerges more readily from error than from confusion.

I would live to study, and not study to live.

Fortitude is the marshal of thought, the armor of the will, and the fort of reason.

Philosophy when superficially studied, excites doubt, when thoroughly explored, it dispels it.

No man’s fortune can be an end worthy of his being.

They that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils.

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 it’s just very subjective. It’s whatever you want. I’m obviously very flattered when I see people re-create our makeup looks, and we love that.

Clothes are fun. The designers have so much fun making them, you should have fun wearing them, too.

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.

A fashion is nothing but an induced epidemic.

I wash my face every night with Ivory soap, and I don’t wear much makeup.

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.

Fashions, after all, are only induced epidemics.

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

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 look good, smell good, and make love good!

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

I’m not ashamed to dress ‘like a woman’ because I don’t think it’s shameful to be a woman.

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

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.
