Coco Chanel

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

Some people think luxury is the opposite of poverty. It is not. It is the opposite of vulgarity.

I don't care what you think about me. I don't think about you at all.

A woman does not become interesting until she is over 40.

You can be gorgeous at thirty, charming at forty, and irresistible for the rest of your life.

A woman with good shoes is never ugly.

We need dresses that crawl and dresses that fly. Fashion is at once a caterpillar and a butterfly; caterpillar by day, butterfly by night.

The best things in life are free. The second-best things are very, very expensive.

My life didn't please me, so I created my life.

Nature gives you the face you have at twenty. Life shapes the face you have at thirty. But at fifty you get the face you deserve.

I only drink Champagne on two occasions, when I am in love and when I am not.

Elegance is refusal.

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

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

It's probably not just by chance that I'm alone. It would be very hard for a man to live with me, unless he's terribly strong. And if he's stronger than I, I'm the one who can't live with him.

I've been in business without being a businesswoman, I've loved without being a woman made only for love.

Where should one use perfume? Wherever one wants to be kissed.

The two men I've loved, I think, will remember me, on earth or in heaven, because men always remember a woman who caused them concern and uneasiness.

I adore you, but you dress women like armchairs.

Look how ridiculous these women are, wearing clothes by a man who doesn't know women, never had one, and dreams of being one.
