The trouble with the new world we have watched being created over the past decade is that it sees no further than money.

Anita Roddick
Let me tell you how the French seduce you. They are the most bloody seductive people on Earth. They are charming, they are well-mannered and they praise and flatter you.
Anita Roddick
The predominant idea behind globalization, in its most virulent form, is an unpleasant kind of social Darwinism - that the world is for winners not losers, that only the successful count, that money is considerably more important than votes.
Anita Roddick

Anita Roddick

Anita Roddick

Anita Roddick
I'm an activist and I come from a very socialist background. For me, my thinking was formed by great thought leaders. And wealth preserving wasn't part of my thinking.
Anita Roddick
Over the past decades...while many businesses have pursued what I call 'business as usual', I have been part of a different, smaller business movement, one that tried to put idealism back on the agenda.
Anita Roddick
Be courageous. It's one of the only places left uncrowded.
Anita Roddick
There is no scientific answer for success. You can't define it. You've simply got to live it and do it.
Anita Roddick
I don't want our success to be measured only by financial yardsticks, or by our distribution or number of shops. What I want to be celebrated for - and it's going to be tough in a business environment - is how good we are to our employees and how we benefit our community. It's a different bottom line.
