I got a telegraph from my mother who said that my step-father had had a heart attack, come home and earn a living. So I went back to England and the only thing I knew to earn any cash was through hairdressing. – Vidal Sassoon
I came home after a year and although my profession was only hairdressing, I knew I could change it. – Vidal Sassoon
For nine years I worked to change what was hairdressing then into a geometric art form with color, perm without setting which had never been done before. – Vidal Sassoon
Ill never forget one morning I walked in and I had a hell of a bruise – it had been a difficult night the night before – and a client said to me, Good God, Vidal, what happened to your face? And I said, Oh, nothing, madam, I just fell over a hairpin. – Vidal Sassoon
I saw the president make the tough calls in the Situation Room – and today, our troops in Iraq have finally come home so America can do some nation building here at home. That was the change that we believed in. That was the change we fought for. That was the change President Obama delivered. – Rahm Emanuel
There is one timeless way of building. It is a thousand years old, and the same today as it has ever been. The great traditional buildings of the past, the villages and tents and temples in which man feels at home, have always been made by people who were very close to the center of this way. – Christopher Alexander
