“I get along with everyone except for men my age, who are bourgeois or retired or boring.”

Chanel is composed of only a few elements, white camellias, quilted bags and Austrian doorman’s jackets, pearls, chains, shoes with black toes. I use these elements like notes to play with.

Fashion and music are the same, because music express its period too.

Stuff your brain with knowledge.

I don’t do meetings. At Chanel, there are no meetings. At Chanel, we do what we want, whenever we want and it works. And Fendi is the same.

Don’t look to the approval of others for your mental stability

What i like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.

The clothes don’t have to suit you; you have to suit the clothes.

Those social networks, there’s something sad about them. Is it because they don’t have enough knowledge about friends and people? I don’t understand it. It’s like a talkative mirror where people talk to themselves. And what I hate most in life is selfies.

Don’t sacrifice yourself too much, because if you sacrifice too much there’s nothing else you can give and nobody will care for you.

Keep the best, forget the rest.

I don’t want to look sloppy, because then I feel sloppy

What is the worst is a fashion designer who talks all the time of his or her creativity, what they are, how they evolved. Just do it and shut up.

Don’t wear what you question, wear what you think is right for you.

The brain is a muscle, and I’m a kind of body-builder.

Its all about taste.If you are cheap, nothing helps

My job is to bring out in people what they wouldn’t dare do themselves.

There are thorns everywhere, but along the path of vice, roses bloom above them.

What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but trifles, to be sure; but scattered along life’s pathway, the good they do is inconceivable.

I’ve already told you: the only way to a woman’s heart is along the path of torment. I know none other as sure.

If you rattle along at great speed everybody inside is too exhilarated or too seasick to cause any trouble. But if you stop everybody gets out and argues about where to go next.

It is very simple to be likeable in Washington. You just go along to get along. You just do what your leadership wants.

The leaves along the limpid streams of Eden? Is your course measur’d for ye? Or do ye Sweep on in your unbounded revelry Through an aerial universe of endless Expansion,–at which my soul aches to think,– Intoxicated with eternity.

It is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer.

This party is a bit like an old stagecoach. If you drive along at a rapid rate everyone aboard is either so exhilarated or so seasick that you don’t have a lot of difficulty.
