“This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognised by yourself as a mighty one. Being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it what I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.”
George Bernard Shaw
"With a career spanning over 50 years at the leading edge of British publishing, culminating in President and CEO of The National Magazine Company and a Board member of The Hearst Corporation, I have seen many changes in the media and communications industry world-wide. For seven years I was Chairman of Graduate Fashion Week. I firmly believe Arts Thread meets the needs of young designers and creatives today by giving them a global platform on which to promote their talents, with a view to improving recruitment levels amongst innovative graduates."
