There’s only one thing in life, and that’s the continual renewal of inspiration.

I've always remained totally myself, which is to say, without an idea... of what to do.

Why don't you have a room done up in every color green? This will take months, years, to collect, but it will be delightful-a melange of plants, green glass, green porcelains, and furniture covered in sad greens, gay greens, clear, faded, and poison greens?

The hottest thing in the world is to wear pants with stockings.

The first thing to do is to arrange to be born in Paris. After that, everything follows quite naturally.

A lie to get out of something, or take an advantage for oneself, that’s one thing; but a lie to make life more interesting—well, that’s entirely different.

Still, my dream in life is to come home and think of absolutely nothing. After all, you can’t think all the time.
