Coco Chanel

A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.

Gentleness doesn't get work done unless you happen to be a hen laying eggs.

Hard times arouse an instinctive desire for authenticity.

Don't spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door.

Nature gives you the face you have at twenty it is up to you to merit the face you have at fifty.

There are people who have money and people who are rich.

I don't know why women want any of the things men have when one the things that women have is men.

Women must tell men always that they are the strong ones. They are the big, the strong, the wonderful. In truth, women are the strong ones. It is just my opinion, I am not a professor.

As long as you know men are like children, you know everything!

Women have always been the strong ones of the world. The men are always seeking from women a little pillow to put their heads down on. They are always longing for the mother who held them as infants.

Great loves too must be endured.

A women who doesn't wear perfume has no future.

Elegance is not the prerogative of those who have just escaped from adolescence, but of those who have already taken possession of their future.

Success is often achieved by those who don't know that failure is inevitable.

Guilt is perhaps the most painful companion of death.

The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.

There is no time for cut-and-dried monotony. There is time for work. And time for love. That leaves no other time!

Fashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions.

Fashion is always of the time in which you live. It is not something standing alone. But the grand problem, the most important problem, is to rejeuvenate women. To make women look young. Then their outlook changes. They feel more joyous.

A woman has the age she deserves.
