My mother never, ever told me about evilness. She only saw the beautiful things... she wanted to protect me from it.
Interpretation
This quote highlights a mother's desire to shield her child from the harsh realities of the world by focusing on the beauty in life.
Diane Von Furstenberg's quote reflects the profound protective instinct of a mother, who, in her attempt to nurture and safeguard her child, chooses to emphasize the positive and beautiful aspects of life while shielding her from the ugliness and evil present in the world. It suggests that love and protection can sometimes come from an idealized view of life, where a parent creates a safe haven for their children to grow without the burden of negativity.
In practice
During a Mother's Day speech, one might quote this to emphasize the protective nature of mothers.
There's design, and there's art. Good design is total harmony. There's no better designer than nature - if you look at a branch or a leaf, it's perfect. It's all function. Art is different. It's about emotion. It's about suffering and beauty - but mostly suffering!
The little black dress is the true friend...she travels with you...is patient and constant...you go to her when you don't know where else to go and she is ALWAYS reliable and timeless.

You're always with yourself, so you might as well enjoy the company.
A challenging economy is always good for design. It unites necessity and functionality. You are forced to be creative with poor materials.
Perhaps the greatest social service that can be rendered by anybody to the country and to mankind is to bring up a family. But here again, because there is nothing to sell, there is a very general disposition to regard a married woman's work as no work at all, and to take it as a matter of course that she should not be paid for it.
All I want to do is make my mother incredibly proud. That's all I've ever wanted to do.
Every woman's path is difficult, and many mothers were as equipped to raise children as wire monkey mothers. I say that without judgment: It is, sadly, true. An unhealthy mother's love is withering.
My life had been very work-orientated, and all in close-up. Once I had the family, it went into sudden widescreen.
The family is a community of love where each of us learns to relate to others and to the world around us.
The most important thing I do is I'm a dad.
