Coco Chanel

"I've always believed that one woman can change everything."

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

"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken."

"The day I stop caring what people think is the day I win."

"A woman can be beautiful, witty, kind; she can be a good friend, a devoted wife, a wonderful mother, and still fail to be a woman unless she has charm."

"I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little, if only out of politeness."

"Elegance does not mean being noticed, it means being remembered."

"You can be anything you want to be, just turn yourself inside out, and keep going."

"Fashion is a form of self-expression and autonomy at a particular period and place and circumstance."

"I only dress in men's clothes, but I am an extremely feminine woman."

"A woman should be two things: classy and fabulous."

"Nothing goes out of fashion sooner than a long dress."

"Fashion is the most beautiful expression of a era."

"You must always be a policewoman in the street, but perhaps a little of a hooker in bed."

"I have created a style that women can live in, move in, and feel comfortable."

"The most beautiful thing a woman can wear is confidence."

"Do you want to know the secret of a true focus? It is saying 'no' to almost everything."

"A woman who doesn't wear perfume has no future."

"Discipline and concentration are a matter of being interested."

"If you wish to be interesting, be interested."

"Fashion is not necessarily something that comes from designers. It's more something that comes from looking at real life, real women, real beauty."

"Perfection is not just about control, it's also about letting go."

"A woman needs rouges, lipsticks, and beauty products because she wants to share an idealized and colorful version of herself."

"If you are sad, add more lipstick and attack."

"The most elegant thing in the world is stillness and privacy."

"Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but of playing a poor hand well."

"Don't live your life to please others. Live your life for yourself first."

"Money, if it does not bring you happiness, will at least help you be miserable in comfort."

"The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little 'extra'."

"Some people think fashion is something that occurs in the skin. No, fashion is in the mind."
