child guilt imagine mobile neurotic simply spend stomach time transition until work
Until you go through with it yourself, you simply can't imagine it. But it is the transition of going back to work and the guilt of how much time you spend with your child that's hard. I worry about not getting back in time for bath-time. I am not a neurotic person at all, but every time the mobile rings, my stomach leaps.
showing women
I do like the idea of women not showing too much, of them being quite reserved in a way, and quite covered.
few iconic styles wardrobe
My favourite eras for styles are still the 70s and 40s, and there will be a few iconic pieces to build the wardrobe around, like there were at Chloe, but I want there to be a feel of mix-and-match.

I don't know whether that comes from having a family - having something very important at home that needed to be protected.

I feel very much that I am a human being, with human limitations, and I need to respect that.

I have an innate fear of fame. I've never thought being famous looked like such a good place to be. I love being incognito.

I just have to be very, very organised.

I was very, very eager to work. It's just the way I am.

It's been a bit tricky trying to establish a 'designer' profile and not a designer-cum-girl-around-town.

Women should have choices, and women should feel good in what they wear.
curiosity unexplained materials
Learning is by nature curiosity... prying into everything, reluctant to leave anything, material or immaterial, unexplained.
money power men
Money, it has been said, is the cause of good things to a good man, of evil things to a bad man.
greek doctrine narrative
Philo of Alexandria introduced in the first century what has been described as the 'Hellenizing of the Old Testament,' or the allegorical method of exegesis. By this, as Erdmann observes, the Bible narrative was found to contain a deeper, and particularly an allegorical interpretation, in addition to its literal interpretation; this was not conscious disingenuousness but a natural mode of amalgamating the Greek philosophic with the Hebraic doctrines.
trying atheism refuge
He who tries to flee from God takes refuge in himself.
