A Girl Should Be Two Things: Classy And Fabulous

A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous

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.

Lizzy Stewart, in An Ode to Women Who Walk, From Virginia Woolf to Greta Gerwig at LitHub.

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

You can never be overdressed or overeducated.

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.

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.
