| I love this room, because I'm also living in the awkward attic-shaped space now. I like how they utilized this space to play up its charm! |
"'How do you juggle it all?' People constantly ask me, with an accusatory look in their eyes. 'You're screwing it all up, aren't you?' Their eyes say. My standard answer is that I have the same struggle as any working parent, but with the good fortune to be working at my dream job. Or sometimes I just hand them a juicy red apple I've poisoned in my working-mother witch cauldron and fly away."

"I like things that are worn. I don't like newness... I still wear old things. And I wear new things. And the old things that I love are non-fashion. There's a timeless quality and an unfashionable sensibility... They're utility, the things you wear to work in, they're things that have sort of an honesty."
— Ralph Lauren

"This world demands the qualities of youth: Not a time of life, but a state of mind, a temper of the will, a quality of imagination, a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite of adventure over the life of ease."

"The White Panda formed when two boyhood friends discovered they had independently embarked on mashup careers in college. Chicago-based Procrast (Tom Evans) first blended Rick Astley snippets with 2 Live Crew grooves as a way to avoid productive activity in 2008, while DJ Griffi (Dan Griffith) embarked on the same mission, for a similar purpose, in L.A. Their combined effort, the White Panda, launched in 2009 with a single that topped internet radio charts days later."
"So my hope for all of you here is that you're going to walk across the stage and get your diploma, you're going to go out tonight or maybe all summer and celebrate (you deserve it), and then you're going to lean way into your career. You're going to find something you love doing, and you're going to do it with gusto. You're going to pick your field and ride it all the way to the top."
"The most important career decision that you will make is whether or not you have a life partner and who that partner is. If you pick someone who is going to share the burdens and the joys of your personal life, you're going to go farther."
"A world where men ran half our homes, and women ran half our institutions would just be a much better world."
"Do not lean back, lean in."
"Put your foot on the gas pedal and keep it there, until the day that you have to make a decision."
"Try until you find something that stirs your passion, until you find a job that stirs you and stirs others. It is the ultimate luxury to combine passion and contribution. It's also a very clear path to happiness."
"I hope that each one of you have the ambition to run the world, because this world needs you to run it."
"Go home and ask yourself: What would you do if you weren't afraid? And then go do it."

"Intuition is really a sudden immersion of the soul into the universal current of life, where the histories of all people are connected, and we are able to know everything because it's all written there."
