Entrepreneurs are outsiders by nature - outsiders with a work ethic.
Anita Roddick
Retiring isn't even a word I'd understand. Taking what makes you feel alive, and everyone's looking for ways of making them feel alive, in whatever they do - relationships, business or work - and not just being a voice for a money making business.
Anita Roddick
Any business or enterprise that shaves away loneliness is going to last forever. And like it or not but we've got a lonely society.
Anita Roddick
