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

Sometimes it’s easy to have ideas, but somebody has to find a way to do it. Often those responsible for finding a way don’t have the idea.

If someone gives me a to-do list, I say ‘thank you, this is nice.’ One needs things to throw in the wastebasket.

I hated the company of other children. I wanted to be a grownup person, to be taken seriously. I hated the idea of childhood; I thought it was a moment of endless stupidity.

For every book you buy, you should buy the time to read it.

What I love best in life is new starts.

Buy what you don’t have yet, or what you really want, which can be mixed with what you already own. Buy only because something excites you, not just for the simple act of shopping.

Trendy is the last stage before tacky.

The secret to modeling is not being perfect. What one needs is a face that people can identify in a second. You have to be given what’s needed by nature, and what’s needed is to bring something new.

It’s great that in life you do something that you want to do because you like doing it and you’re not bored. I’m not bored at all. I’m even interested in lots of things, more so today than before.

I like the discipline of well-cut, impeccable clothes. I think it’s a very healthy discipline.

In a meat-eating world, wearing leather for shoes and clothes and even handbags, the discussion of fur is childish.

The elegance is as physical, as moral quality that has nothing common with the clothing. You can see a countrywoman more elegant than one so called elegant woman.

Change is the healthiest way to survive.

No one wants to see curvy women.

I love classic beauty. It’s an idea of beauty with no standard.

I’ve survived quite a few generations. That’s because I never lost my enthusiasm. I wake up every morning like on Christmas Day, waiting for the gifts.

We envy only those whom we feel ourselves to be like; we envy only members of our reference group. There are few successes more unendurable than those of our close friends.

Though it may feel otherwise, enjoying life is no more dangerous than apprehending it with continuous anxiety and gloom.

Ever since the day you left me, I’ve been so miserable, my dear. I feel almost as bad as I did when you were still here.

Every time we feel satisfied with what we have, we can be counted as rich, however little we may actually possess.

We should not feel embarrassed by our difficulties, only by our failure to grow anything beautiful from them.

I feel really assured by the fact that the women I have loved I have loved for always.

The more closely we analyze what we consider ‘sexy,’ the more clearly we will understand that eroticism is the feeling of excitement we experience at finding another human being who shares our values and our sense of the meaning of existence.

I feel like I’m a veteran at this now.
