Women want to be free to choose from the same range of options that men take for granted. In our quest for equal pay, equal access to education and opportunities, we have made great strides. But until women can move freely and think freely in their homes, on the streets, in the workplace without the fear of violence, there can be no real freedom.

Some men give up their designs when they have almost reached the goal while others, on the contrary, obtain a victory by exerting, at the last moment, more vigorous efforts than ever before. Herodotus, historian If I had to name a driving force in my life, I'd name passion every time.

Anita Roddick
For me, campaigning and good business is also about putting forward solutions, not just opposing destructive practices or human rights abuses.
Anita Roddick
Whatever you do, be different. If you're different, you will stand out.
Anita Roddick
Business is not financial science, it's about trading.. buying and selling. It's about creating a product or service so good that people will pay for it.
Anita Roddick
The movement for the environment really only started in the mid 1970's.
Anita Roddick
One of the key problems of the business world is that greed has become culturally acceptable.
Anita Roddick
To me the desire to create and to have control over your own life, irrespective of the politics of the time or social structures, has always been a part of the human spirit. What I did not fully realize was that work could open the doors to my heart.
Anita Roddick
If trade undermines life, narrows it or impoverishes it, then it can destroy the world. If it enhances life, then it can better the world.
Anita Roddick
You have to look at leadership through the eyes of the followers and you have to live the message.
