1 " A man is biologically incapable of giving ‘the look’. "
― Fennel Hudson , Fine Things - Fennel's Journal - No. 8
2 " Life is a wonderfully fine thing. Go live it. "
3 " Character and purpose are directly linked to confidence and conviction. What links them? Courage – to be oneself, no matter what others might say. "
4 " You need to be outdoors. Away from here. You need a holiday. "
5 " In with the new, out with the old.’ That’s what we’re told. We have to change, adapt, compromise. "
6 " Change, it seems, is inevitable. And so is compromise. "
7 " Things today ‘sure ain’t like they used to be’. They’ve changed, moved on, progressed. "
8 " Workdays are, I imagine, rather like learning to ice-skate Torvill and Dean’s The Bolero. They start and end easily enough; it’s the bit in the middle that causes the pain in the arse. "
9 " Compromise is a choice. As is the defence of one’s self. "
10 " Fine Things are reservoirs for the heart. "
11 " The bright light of brilliance keeps the darkness away, but it can be so very exhausting. "
12 " I’m a classic eccentric, living at the extremes of high mania and low mood. There’s no middle ground, only madness and sadness. "
13 " Be confident enough to show your true self to the world. "
14 " A person has to be comfortable in his or her own skin. "
15 " There’s no point pretending to be someone or something we’re not. "
16 " We should be authentic: the ‘real deal’. Neither a clone nor mimic be. "
17 " Having a ‘taste for life’ is about knowing its various flavours and awaiting the next meal. "
18 " Michelin Star? I’d rather chew a French rubber tyre. "
19 " It’s better to be individual than a clone of someone else. "
20 " Leaps of faith tend to favour those with long legs. "
