Anita Roddick
How can you ennoble the spirit when you are selling something as inconsequential as a face cream?
Anita Roddick

Anita Roddick
By creating conversation, we let our customers spread our message by word of mouth.
Anita Roddick
If you pretend that business is beyond morality, that's the kind of morality you get.
