Frida Kahlo is undoubtedly one of the most innovative and influential painters of the 20th century and is widely considered a style icon thanks to her eclectic taste and love for color, print and hauls of jewelry. From a young age, Kahlo forged her own path, overcoming polio as a child, and stoically battling the after-effects of a tragic road accident that left her with lifelong injuries. Pocket Frida Kahlo Wisdom is an inspiring collection of some of her best quotes on love, style, life, art and more, and celebrates the Mexican icon's immense legacy. "Nothing is worth more than laughter. It is strength to laugh and to abandon oneself, to be light." "The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration." "I am my own muse, I am the subject I know best. The subject I want to know better."

Biggie Smalls, the iconic face of East Coast gangsta rap, is considered by many to have been the greatest rapper of all time. His deep voice, effortless flow, vulnerable storytelling and the window he offered into hustler life in the 90s immortalised him in the hip-hop hall of fame, even before his death at the young age of 24. In this collection of his insights and philosophy delivered throughout his short but brilliant life, we hear the 'King of New York' in his own words on his early life in Brooklyn, his marriage to Faith Evans, his notorious temper and even his infamous friendship-turned-fatal-rivalry with Tupac Shakur. 'I'm just realising that nothing protects you from the inevitable. If something's going to happen, it's gonna happen, no matter what you do.' 'I was real, real bad. You know what made it worse? Motherf*ckers would tell my mother that I did something, and she just wouldn't believe them. "Not my Christopher", she would say.' 'I'm really no different than anybody else, I say grow from your mistakes and hopefully you can stand the repercussions.'
