I think it's just fear of death. I can't bear to go to sleep. There's very little, you know, between an entrepreneur and a crazy person.
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
The business of business should not be about money. It should be about responsibility. It should be about public good, not private greed
Anita Roddick
Entrepreneurs are outsiders by nature - outsiders with a work ethic.
Anita Roddick
If you don't believe one person can make a difference, you have never been in bed with a mosquito.
Anita Roddick
Free trade holds much of the blame for continued international conflict. Markets are said to possess wisdom that is somehow superior to man. Those of us in business who travel in the developing world see the results of such western wisdom and have a rumbling disquiet about much of what our economic institutions have bought into.
Anita Roddick
All through history, there have always been movements where business was not just about the accumulation of proceeds but also for the public good.
Anita Roddick
But if you can create an honorable livelihood, where you take your skills and use them and you earn a living from it, it gives you a sense of freedom and allows you to balance your life the way you want.
Anita Roddick
I think that business practices would improve immeasurably if they were guided by feminine pinciples, qualities like love, care, and intuition.
Anita Roddick
What we are trying to do is to create a new business paradigm, simply showing that business can have a human face and a social conscience.
Anita Roddick
Be special. Be anything but mediocre.
Anita Roddick
If there is excitement in their lives, it is contained in the figures on the profit and loss sheet. What an indictment.
