Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.

I stood up for myself as I always have done. Nobody has ever told Coco Chanel what to think.

After a fashion, they did, mingling the sale of perfumes with anti-Nazi propaganda. In the event, my tirelessly publicised determination to wrest back control of the business neutralised most of the adverse repercussions on me from an unwilling association with their propaganda.

A beautiful dress may look beautiful on a hanger, but that means nothing. It must be seen on the shoulders, with the movement of the arms, the legs, and the waist.

A young lady ought to be two things: tasteful and breathtaking.

Some people pursue unhappiness because happiness is too mild a sensation.

In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.
