This line from the existentialist author's famous novel The Fall is slightly reminiscent of two lines that came before it; one by his English contemporary, George Orwell, who wrote, "At 50, every man has the face he deserves," as well as another line by Oscar Wilde, who said, "A man's face is his autobiography. A woman's face is her fiction."

'Looking really stylish is wearing clothes that tell a personal story and send out a good message.' -Dries Van Noten


Dries Van Noten is a Belgian fashion designer with an eponymous fashion brand who has put the likes of Cate Blanchett in red-carpet gowns but who generally does not design haute couture; rather, his work is considered "pret-a-porter," or ready to wear. Although he does no advertising, his designs have been around for decades and today can be found in major department stores such as Barney's.

'Only dead fish swim with the stream. ' -Malcolm Muggeridge

This was a favorite saying of Malcolm Muggeridge, a British novelist, journalist and satirist of the 20th century whose personal views often flew in the face of what was considered acceptable in the day. His conversion to Christianity in his later years brought him into a public debate with members of Monty Python, as Muggeridge claimed their The Life of Brian was a work of blasphemy. John Cleese was especially disappointed with the accusation, having long considered himself a fan of Muggeridge's satirical work.
