The biggest wall you have to climb is the one you build in your mind: Never let your mind talk you out of your dreams, trick you into giving up. Never let your mind become the greatest obstacle to success. To get your mind on the right track, the rest will follow.

I can't give you a sure-fire formula for success, but I can give you a formula for failure: try to please everybody all the time

Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman.

A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous

You can never be overdressed or overeducated.

A person was like a city. You couldn't let a few less desirable parts put you off the whole. There may be bits you don't like, a few dodgy side streets and suburbs, but the good stuff makes it worthwhile.

Walking in London is when I feel most certain. I know the fastest routes, the most scenic streets, the alleyways that circumvent rows of busy shops, the quickest walk to a cinema or museum where you can sneak into the toilets with ease. I know that the Hungerford Bridge is where you should stand if you fear London has lost its lustre, the terraces at Richmond are a European Summer Holiday when you cannot afford one and the Night-Bus is where your best and worst thoughts will form.

#thats so true #London is in my soul #I want to go back to London so badly #Everyone has their city that is more like home that their actual home and for me is London #London is the kind of life I want

“My Dad says that being a Londoner has nothing to do with where you're born. He says that there are people who get off a jumbo jet at Heathrow, go through immigration waving any kind of passport, hop on the tube and by the time the train's pulled into Piccadilly Circus they've become a Londoner.” ― Ben Aaronovitch, Moon Over Soho
