Trust your happiness and the richness of your life at this moment. It is as true and as much yours as anything else that ever happened to you.
Katherine Anne PorterI've been called a stylist until I really could tear my hair out. And I simply don't believe in style. The style is you.
Katherine Anne PorterCivilization, let me tell you what it is. First the soldier, then the merchant, then the priest, then the lawyer. The merchant hires the soldier and priest to conquer the country for him. First the soldier, he is a murderer; then the priest, he is a liar; then the merchant, he is a thief; and they all bring in the lawyer to make their laws and defend their deeds, and there you have your civilization!
