“The original Body Shop was a series of brilliant accidents. It had a great smell, it had a funky name. It was positioned between two funeral parlours--that always caused controversy. It was incredibly sensuous... We recycled everything, not because we were environmentally friendly, but because we didnʼt have enough bottles... It wasnʼt a sophisticated plan, it just happened like that.” - Anita Roddick

Warrior Training

“All human beings are entrepreneurs. When we were in the caves we were all self-employed . . . finding our food, feeding ourselves. That’s where human history began . . . As civilization came we suppressed it. We became labor because they stamped us, ‘You are labor.’ We forgot that we are entrepreneurs.”
