Chinua Achebe
“Somehow I found myself admiring the man for his lack of modesty. For what is modesty but inverted pride? We all think we are first-class people. Modesty forbids us from saying so ourselves though, presumably, not from wanting to hear it from others.”
Chinua Achebe, A Man of the People

“Fashion anticipates, elegance is a state of mind.
-OLEG CASSINI”
Nina García, The Style Strategy: A Less-Is-More Approach to Staying Chic and Shopping Smart

Albert Einstein
“The individual has become more conscious than ever of his dependence upon society. But he does not experience this dependence as a positive asset, as an organic tie, as a protective force, but rather as a threat to his natural rights, or even to his economic existence. Moreover, his position in society is such that the egotistical drives of his make-up are constantly being accentuated, while his social drives, which are by nature weaker, progressively deteriorate.”
Albert Einstein, Why Socialism?

Susan Sontag
“It's absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.” - Lady Windermere’s Fan”
Susan Sontag, Notes on ‘Camp’

Toni Morrison
“Relinquishing reproductive control to God is, in
fact, relinquishing it to men. Demanding reproductive control is to usurp male sovereignty and acquire what masculinity takes for granted—dominion.”
Toni Morrison, The Source of Self-Regard: Selected Essays, Speeches, and Meditations
