Quotes: Paul Arden

"The problem with hoarding is you end up living off your reserves. Eventually, you'll become stale. If you give away everything you have, you are left with nothing. This forces you to look, to be aware, to replenish. ... Somehow the more you give away, the more comes back to you."

 –– Paul Arden (1940-2008), British creative director and author
