Belief is as necessary to the soul as pleasures are necessary to the body.

A good cook is like a sorceress who dispenses happiness.

Fashion is born by small facts, trends, or even politics, never by trying to make little pleats and furbelows, by trinkets, by clothes easy to copy, or by the shortening or lengthening of a skirt.

Dresses that are truly beautiful are never unfashionable.

Many men admire strong women but they don't love them. Some women succeed at being strong and also tender, but most of those who have intended to walk alone, making their own way, have lost their happiness.

Eating well gives a spectacular joy to life and contributes immensely to goodwill.

Dress designing, incidentally, is to me not a profession but an art.
