More quotes by Anita Roddick
We entrepreneurs are loners, vagabonds, troublemakers. Success is simply a matter of finding and surrounding ourselves with those open-minded and clever souls who can take our insanity and put it to good use.
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
I'd have opened a bloody library if I'd wanted to be quiet.
Anita Roddick
Three components make an entrepreneur: the person, the idea and the resources to make it happen.

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
Whatever you do, be different. If you're different, you will stand out.
Anita Roddick

The big question is: how do you institutionalize success and still keep that edge of craziness and wildeness?
Anita Roddick
The end result of kindness is that it draws people to you.
Anita Roddick
Internationalism means that we can see into the dark corners of the world, and hold those companies to account when they are devastating forests or employing children as bonded labour. Globalization is the complete opposite, its rules pit country against country and workers against workers in the blinkered pursuit of international competitiveness.
Anita Roddick
If you don't believe one person can make a difference, you have never been in bed with a mosquito.
Anita Roddick
My argument is: keep the bloody bottom line at the bottom. That's where it should be.
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
How can you ennoble the spirit when you are selling something as inconsequential as a face cream?
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.
