Coco Chanel

"A woman has the age she deserves."

"Fashion is always of the time in which you live. It is not something standing alone. But the grand problem, the most important problem, is to rejeuvenate women. To make women look young. Then their outlook changes. They feel more joyous."

"Fashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions."

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

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

"Guilt is perhaps the most painful companion of death."
