More quotes by Anita Roddick
It is true that there is a fine line between entrepreneurship and insanity. Crazy people see and feel things that others don't. But you have to believe that everything is possible. If you believe it, those around you will believe it too.
Anita Roddick
When you take the high moral road it is difficult for anyone to object without sounding like a complete fool.
Anita Roddick
I want to work for a company that contributes to and is part of the community. I want something not just to invest in. I want something to believe in.
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

Anita Roddick
I believe in businesses where you engage in creative thinking, and where you form some of your deepest relationships. If it isn't about the production of the human spirit, we are in big trouble.

Anita Roddick
You've got to be hungry - for ideas, to make things happen and to see your vision made into reality
Anita Roddick
Why should how I act in my workplace be any different from how I interact with my family at home? It's making sure the company runs on feminine principles where the major ethic is care.
Anita Roddick
I'd have opened a bloody library if I'd wanted to be quiet.
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
Ninety-nine per cent of what we say is about values. I firmly believe that ethical capitalism is the best way of changing society for the better.
Anita Roddick
If you don't believe one person can make a difference, you have never been in bed with a mosquito.
Anita Roddick
If you pretend that business is beyond morality, that's the kind of morality you get.
Anita Roddick
The money that we make from the company goes into The Body Shop Foundation, which isn't one of those awful tax shelters like some in America. It just functions to take the money and give it away.
Anita Roddick
My passionate belief is that business can be fun, it can be conducted with love and a powerful force for good.
Anita Roddick
Get informed. Get outraged. Get inspired. Get active.
Anita Roddick
The market controls everything, but the market has no heart.
