A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.
Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman.
A girl should be two things: who and what she wants.
In order to be irreplaceacle, one must always be different.
Don't spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door.
Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance.
My life didn't please me, so I created my life.
As long as you know men are like children, you know everything!
There is no time for cut-and-dried monotony. There is time for work. And time for love. That leaves no other time.
You can be gorgeous at thirty, charmimg at forty, and irresistible for the rest of your life.
Some people think luxury is the opposite of poverty. It is not. It is the opposite of vulgarity.
Adornment, what a science! Beauty, what a weapon! Modesty, what elegance!
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.
