“We're trying to find areas of cooperation with Russia in the area of counterterrorism and the campaign against ISIS.” Quote by H. R. McMaster
“And one of the things that I'm most concerned about is the confidence, the confidentiality of those kind of meetings between President and Russian Foreign Minister, as you know, are extremely important. And so, I am really concerned about kind of leaks, because it undermines everybody's trust in that kind of an environment where you can have frank, candid, and often times unconventional conversations to try to protect American interests and secure the American people.” PeopleTryingKindImportantPresidentInterestEnvironmentProtectConcernedMeetingsFrank Author:H.

“Meetings between Presidents, as you know, are supposed to be privileged. They're supposed to be confidential. They're supposed to allow the president and other leaders to have frank exchanges.” PresidentLeaderMeetingsFrank Author:H. R. McMaster
“When people wear our Bolivian knits and see who knitted them, they are excited because they know they are supporting this women's cause in Bolivia. And it shows you that we are all connected. It's not a machine making your clothes in a black hole somewhere. There is a human being behind it, and a community there.” PeopleBlackCommunityExcitedBlack Hole Author:Maria Cornejo
“People aren't buying blindly anymore, they want transparency. They want to know informed about where their clothes were made. I think that's why we have a loyal clientele.” PeopleThinkingLoyalTransparency Author:Maria Cornejo
“I always use a really simple analogy: if you're putting organic food on your table because you care about eating well, shouldn't you be trying to do the same with what you're putting on your body? Our skin is our biggest organ. Everyday you are absorbing things through it. The way that a cream without the right ingredients can affect you, everything you put on your skin matters.” TryingCareSimpleEatingSkinsEverydayOrganic Food Author:Maria Cornejo
“There are social and environmental impacts. You might be working with a factory that underpays its staff or mistreats its workers, or mishandles the dyes. I think that conscious fashion, fashion for our soul, needs to keep pushing that needle towards being better and more mindful.” ThinkingSoulFashionConsciousEnvironmentalMistreat Author:Maria Cornejo
“It would be great if everybody got a conscience. If we started to take more responsibility for the pollution in the world caused by the fashion industry, and to produce less, but better-thought-out goods. Then it becomes worth saving up to buy something beautifully-designed because you can and will keep it, rather than buying a bunch of disposable fashion items you'll probably wear once before throwing away and adding to the waste stockpile. I do think people used to buy clothing with a more thoughtful approach.” PeopleThinkingWorldResponsibilityFashionConscienceThoughtfulPollutionFashion Industry Author:Maria Cornejo
“There's strength in numbers. One designer isn't going to change everything. Everyone has to demand that their materials are being sustainably sourced. Just like how cosmetic companies won't test on animals, there have to be benchmarks that we can all adopt.” AnimalDesigner Author:Maria Cornejo
“Knowledge creates the demand. The more people know about it, the more people will be interested and demand for things to be produced in a careful, conscious way.” PeopleConsciousCareful Author:Maria Cornejo
“We can't start with big thinking, we have to approach it little by little. Sustainability isn't going to become big right away. Each day you give yourself a little bit more responsibility. It's not ideal, but that's the only way things change, we can't just keep ignoring it.” ThinkingGivingResponsibilitySustainabilityThings Change Author:Maria Cornejo
