Passion always goes, and boredom stays.

I don't do fashion, I'm fashion
Coco Chanel

Why am I so determined to put the shoulder where it belongs? Women have very round shoulders that push forward slightly this touches me and I say: 'One must not hide that!' Then someone tells you: 'The shoulder is on the back'. I have never seen women with shoulders on their backs.

You cannot keep up a nightlife and amount to anything in the day. You cannot indulge in those foods and liquors that destroy the physique and still hope to have a physique that functions with the minimum of destruction to itself. A candle burnt at both ends may shed a brighter light, but the darkness that follows is for a longer time.

Luxury is a necessity that begins where necessity ends
Coco Chanel

I remember confuting one of Westminster's favourite maxims, better the devil you know than the devil you don't. In the annals of popular wisdom, this is one of the most cretinous sayings I have come across.
Coco Chanel
Image
I love luxury. And luxury lies not in richness and ornateness but in the absence of vulgarity. Vulgarity is the ugliest word in our language. I stay in the game to fight it.
Coco Chanel
Image
All men are children, and if you understand that, a woman understands everything.
Coco Chanel
Image
In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.
Coco Chanel
Image
Coquetry, it's a triumph of the spirit over the senses.
Coco Chanel

I trained myself. Long ago, `Boy' [Arthur] Capel introduced me to 'Bludgeon the Poor!' (Assommons les pauvres!) which, rejecting resignation, informed my moral outlook for life.
