More quotes by Daphne Guinness
I treat clothing or a piece of jewelry like it was a piece of art.
Daphne Guinness
I can't understand it when people are closed-minded. I mean, boy, have I made mistakes and been very wrong. I can't tell you the amounts of times I've been let down, but I still try to see the best in people.
Daphne Guinness
I know sometimes I can come off like a lonely spinster in a tower. That's not me at all.

Daphne Guinness
I really try to understand what people are saying and answer as honestly as I can. But sometimes it's like they try to tie you into knots. That's why I mostly steer clear of the popular press. I try not to read . . . Well, I never read gossip press. I just read books. And I never switch on the TV any more.
Daphne Guinness
But things don't necessarily have to be that expensive to be good. As long as they are expensive enough to last.
Daphne Guinness
I play piano and I sing. But I do that for fun. I mean, I do everything for fun.
Daphne Guinness
Fragrance takes you on a journey of time. You can walk down the street and pass someone and get taken back 20 years. It's very Proustian that way.
Daphne Guinness
Human beings all mimic each other.
Daphne Guinness
We need better things, not more. We should not pollute the world with meaningless, unused things when we can make and support things of rare and precious beauty.
Daphne Guinness
Eccentric is a difficult word because it's come to mean crazy. Avant-garde would be better. Eccentric is not centric in terms of having a center. Because sometimes it's used in a derogatory context.
