and Coco Chanel said...






A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.
A woman has the age she deserves.
A women who doesn't wear perfume has no future.
As long as you know men are like children, you know everything!
Don't spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door.
Elegance does not consist in putting on a new dress.
Elegance is not the prerogative of those who have just escaped from adolescence, but of those who have already taken possession of their future.
Elegance is refusal.
Fashion fades, only style remains the same.
Fashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions.
Fashion is made to become unfashionable.
Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.
Great loves too must be endured.
Guilt is perhaps the most painful companion of death.
How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone.
I don't know why women want any of the things men have when one the things that women have is men. I invented my life by taking for granted that everything I did not like would have an opposite, which I would like.
I never wanted to weigh more heavily on a man than a bird.
In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.
Jump out the window if you are the object of passion. Flee it if you feel it. Passion goes, boredom remains. Look for the woman in the dress. If there is no woman, there is no dress.
Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury.
My friends, there are no friends.
Nature gives you the face you have at twenty; it is up to you to merit the face you have at fifty.
Since everything is in our heads, we had better not lose them.
Some people think luxury is the opposite of poverty. It is not. It is the opposite of vulgarity.
Success is often achieved by those who don't know that failure is inevitable. The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.
There are people who have money and people who are rich.
There have been several Duchesses of Westminster but there is only one Chanel! There is no time for cut-and-dried monotony.
There is time for work. And time for love. That leaves no other time!
Those who create are rare; those who cannot are numerous. Therefore, the latter are stronger.
