"For years now I've kind of operated under an informal shopping cycle. A bit like a farmer's crop rotation system. Except, instead of wheat, maize, barley, and fallow, mine pretty much goes clothes, makeup shoes, and clothes (I don't bother with fallow). Shopping is actually very similar to farming a field. You can't keep buying the same thing, you have to have a bit of variety. Otherwise you get bored and stop enjoying yourself."
— Sophie Kinsella (Confessions of a Shopaholic)
"I love new clothes. If everyone could just wear new clothes everyday, I reckon depression wouldn’t exist anymore."

"My life has changed, and I'm changing with it."
— Sophie Kinsella (The Undomestic Goddess)
"There's no luck in business. There's only drive, determination, and more drive."

"Life would be a lot easier if conversations were rewindable and erasable, like videos. Or if you could instruct people to disregard what you just said, like in a courtroom."
— Sophie Kinsella (Confessions of a Shopaholic)
"All this time, I wasn't hungry for success, I was hungry."
— Sophie Kinsella (Remember Me?)
" "I did a lot of shopping for her in Tokyo because the colors here are very conservative. A shopaholic would have a coat in every color and lots of accessories""
