Famous Quotes & Sayings

Sophia Amoruso

It's really, really eclectic. It's not a business book [Girlboss], but it's still a book that should make you want to get up and do things and think about your life.

It was so fun to put together and fun to write, that was really a pleasure.

She had loved, and let love go. So she smiled.

In Brazil, there is a fear and a denial of our past. Downtown Rio used to display the history of colonialism in Brazil. They had beautiful buildings and theaters, and there was a bakery that was threatened to be demolished, but people insisted against it.
