“Algunas de las mejores cosas de la vida no están hechas para durar siempre. Por eso las valoramos tanto cuando suceden. Como una caja lena de tu chocolate favorito. O las estrellas fugaces. No nos negamos a comer ese dulce porque vaya a acabase una vez que lo hagamos, ni dejamos de mirar las estrellas cuando vemos que una cruza el cielo disparada. Disfrutamos del momento porque sabemos que vivirlo merece la pena.”

“You look... amazing!" And I have to say, I agree. I'm wearing all black - but expensive black. The kind of deep, soft black that you fall into. A simple sleeveless dress from Whistles, the highest of Jimmy Choos, a pair of stunning uncut amethyst earrings. And please don't ask how much it all cost, because that's irrelevant. This is investment shopping. The biggest investment of my life. I haven't eaten anything all day so I'm nice and thin and for once my hair has fallen perfectly into shape. I look... well, I've never looked better in my life. But of course, looks are only part of the package, aren't they?”

“...What is the key word today? Disposable. The more you can throw it away the more it’s beautiful. The car, the furniture, the wife, the children—everything has to be disposable. Because you see the main thing today is—shopping. Years ago a person, he was unhappy, didn’t know what to do with himself—he’d go to church, start a revolution—something. Today you’re unhappy? Can’t figure it out? What is the salvation? Go shopping.... ...If they would close the stores for six months in this country there would be from coast to coast a regular massacre.”
