Diane von Furstenberg quotes about
memories independent home
One of my fondest memories was when I was in London as a young, independent businesswoman and stayed at Claridge's. I knew I had made it.

Passion and persistence are what matter. Dreams are achievable and you can make your fantasy come true, but there are no shortcuts. Nothing happens without hard work.
