Women are strong. We can do it all. But not always at the same time.
Interpretation
Women possess great strength and capability, but they cannot always manage everything simultaneously.
This quote by Diane Von Furstenberg highlights the inherent strength of women and their ability to tackle various challenges. However, it also recognizes the reality that juggling multiple responsibilities at once can be overwhelming, suggesting that it's essential to prioritize and approach tasks at a manageable pace rather than striving for perfection all the time.

In a motivational speech at a women's empowerment event.
There's design, and there's art. Good design is total harmony. There's no better designer than nature - if you look at a branch or a leaf, it's perfect. It's all function. Art is different. It's about emotion. It's about suffering and beauty - but mostly suffering!
The little black dress is the true friend...she travels with you...is patient and constant...you go to her when you don't know where else to go and she is ALWAYS reliable and timeless.
One of the most important things about fashion is to dress as well as you can, look as attractive as you can, and at the same time be comfortable with yourself. Be easy about your clothes; forget about them.

You're always with yourself, so you might as well enjoy the company.
A challenging economy is always good for design. It unites necessity and functionality. You are forced to be creative with poor materials.
We may not have chosen the time, but the time has chosen us.
At the time I was arrested I had no idea it would turn into this. It was just a day like any other day. The only thing that made it significant was that the masses of the people joined in.
One arm might handicap me a little in competition, but I just work with what changes I know I have to make, and I'm pretty used to it now. It mainly depends on the wave conditions... I only get half the waves everyone else rides, so mine have to be good!
**** the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!
We all know fear. But passion makes us fearless.
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.... The danger lies in refusing to face the fear, in not daring to come to grips with it. If you fail anywhere along the line it will take away your confidence. You must make yourself succeed every time. You must do the thing you think you cannot do.
