More quotes by Anita Roddick
Creativity comes by breaking the rules, by saying that you're in love with the anarchist.
Anita Roddick
Women are storytellers, they are communicators. They'll go and sit around a table and talk about their first date, their first smoke, their first lipstick, whatever it is. Those rituals of life, marriages and death aren't part of the language of men.
Anita Roddick
When your back is against the wall financially, creative juices flow.
Anita Roddick
If I had to choose my driving force, it would be passion.
Anita Roddick

Anita Roddick
Not all revolutionaries set out to change the world per se some set out to change their own worlds. And in so doing, they often change the way one person, or a few people, or whole communities, or entire nations or the world thinks and operates in some significant way.
Anita Roddick
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.
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
Look at the Quakers - they were excellent business people that never lied, never stole they cared for their employees and the community which gave them the wealth. They never took more money out than they put back in.
Anita Roddick
Never feel too small or powerless to make a difference.
Anita Roddick
Running a company on market research is like driving while looking in the rear view mirror.
Anita Roddick
The market controls everything, but the market has no heart.
Anita Roddick
the leaders of globalization ... have tied themselves to a single measurement by which they judge success and failure ... They only measure money and the bottom line.
Anita Roddick
We are honest about our methods and our mistakes. We are not perfect - it isn't possible to be perfect - but we are trying to go in the right direction and in those circumstances, it's best not to mystify what we are trying to do.
