If you only have one world, one life, then however brilliant it is most of the time, you have nowhere to run when you need to escape from it for a while.

About This Quote

If you only have one world, one life, then however brilliant it is most of the time, you have nowhere to run when you need to escape from it for a while. This quote comes from the book “The Devil Wears Prada” by Lauren Weisberger. It is the main theme of the book and shows how people in the fashion industry are so wrapped up in their work that they lose sight of what is important in life. They live their lives on the clock and neglect outside interests because they are so consumed with work.
