More From Oscar De La Renta

Destiny ... a word which means more than we can find any definitions for. it is a word which can have no meaning in a mechanical universe: if that which is wound up must run down, what destiny is there in that? destiny is not necessitarianism, and it is not caprice: it is something essentially meaningful. each man has his destiny, though some men are undoubtedly "men of destiny" in a sense in which most men are not.
Meaningful Running Destiny
By trying to adjust to the findings that it once tried so viciously to ban and repress, religion has only succeeded in restating the same questions that undermined it in earlier epochs. what kind of designer or creator is so wasteful and capricious and approximate? what kind of designer or creator is so cruel and indifferent? and - most of all - what kind of designer or creator only chooses to "reveal" himself to semi-stupefied peasants in desert regions?
Trying Desert Kind
The designer [...] has a passion for doing something that fits somebody's needs, but that is not just a simple fix. the designer has a dream that goes beyond what exists, rather than fixing what exists. [...] the designer wants to create a solution that fits in a deeper situational or social sense.
Dream Passion Simple
[while designing] i'm mixing two lines of thought really: me as a designer for women and then me as a man. at the start of the design process it's the designer for women that comes to the forefront - sketching and revising the silhouette. then the man comes into the picture - and i look at the shoe from a very masculine point of view. then there is a conflict between the two sides of me. sometimes the man wins, and sometimes the designer wins.
Men Winning Design Process
People have a hard time accepting free-market economics for the same reason they have a hard time accepting evolution: it is counterintuitive. life looks intelligently designed, so our natural inclination is to infer that there must be an intelligent designer--a god. similarly, the economy looks designed, so our natural inclination is to infer that we need a designer--a government. in fact, emergence and complexity theory explains how the principles of self-organization and emergence cause complex systems to arise from simple systems without a top-down designer.
Intelligent Simple Hard Times
To a woman who complained about her destiny the master said, "it is you who make your destiny." "but surely i am not responsible for being born a woman?" "being born a woman isn't destiny. that is fate. destiny is how you accept your womanhood and what you make of it."
Fate Destiny Responsible
Similar Quotes
Human reason has this peculiar fate that in one species of its knowledge it is burdened by questions which, as prescribed by the very nature of reason itself, it is not able to ignore, but which, as transcending all its powers, it is also not able to answer.
Nature Fate Peculiar
Long ago it was said that 'one half of the world does not know how the other half lives.' that was true then. it did not know because it did not care. the half that was on top cared little for the struggles, and less for the fate, of those who were underneath, so long as it was able to hold them there and keep its own seat.
Struggle Fate Long Ago
O sir, you are old; nature in you stands on the very verge of her confine; you should be ruled and led by some discretion, that discerns your fate better than you yourself.
Fate Age Should
If fate doesn't make you laugh, you just don't get the joke.
