Words of Wisdom: Coco Chanel



Not only was Coco Chanel a marvelous designer, but she had some fantastic insights into life through her words. Here are a few of my favorite Coco-isms...

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

“As long as you know men are like children, you know everything!"”

“How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone.”

“Don't spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door.”

“Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury.”

“There are people who have money and people who are rich.”

“Those who create are rare; those who cannot are numerous. Therefore, the latter are stronger.”

“Since everything is in our heads, we had better not lose them.”

“Elegance is refusal.”

“It is the unseen, unforgettable, ultimate accessory of fashion that heralds your arrival and prolongs your departure.”



Also, how stunning is Audrey Tatou as Chanel?
