Coco Chanel

"“Success is most often achieved by those who don't know that failure is inevitable.”"

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

"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."

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

"Fashion changes, but style endures."

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

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

"There is a time for work, and a time for love. That leaves no other time."

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

"If you're sad, add more lipstick and attack!"

"A woman with good shoes i never ugly!"

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

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

"Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance."

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

"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’m neither smart nor stupid, but I don’t think I’m a run-of-the-mill person. I’ve been in business without being a businesswoman, I’ve loved without being a woman made only for love. 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’ve done my best, in regard to people and to life, without precepts, but with a taste for justice."
