More quotes by Karl Lagerfeld
If you stick to something doggedly, you are off to a bad start.
Karl Lagerfeld
I hate birthdays, .. It's more like a new starting point in New York. For me, it's an evolution. I don't celebrate the past. I like the present and tomorrow.

Forgiveness isn’t something I’m preoccupied with — turning the other cheek isn’t my trip.

Karl Lagerfeld
We live in a dark and romantic and quite tragic world.
Karl Lagerfeld
Stuff your brain with knowledge.

A sense of humour and a little lack of respect: That's what you need to make a legend survive.
Karl Lagerfeld
But if I have a lot of imagination, I could tell myself whatever I wanted, you know. I handle myself quite well. I'm kind of fascist with myself, you know. There's no discussion. There is an order. You follow it.
