“You’re trying to produce the most beautiful products possible, the most beautiful quality possible. If you’re doing that, then you can’t worry about how many you’re going to sell, and ‘is it going to make enough profits to make the shareholders happy?’ You will have to just make something great, and know it will sell, and you will make a perfectly fine amount of money, as opposed to bazillions.”

“To see beauty even in the common things of life, to shed the light of love and friendship round me; to keep my life in tune with the world that I shall make no discords in the harmony of life; to strike on the lyre of the universe only the notes of happiness, of joy, of peace; to appreciate every little service rendered; to see and appreciate all that is noble in another, be her badge what it may; and to let my lyre send forth the chords of love, unselfishness, sincerity.
This is to be my symphony.”
– Celia McClure
