Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.
It's not the appearance, it's the essence. It's not the money, it's the education. It's not the clothes, it's the class.
I simply value Arthur Capel friendship. And even so, he knows very little about me.
I don't care what you think about me. I don't think about you at all.
You can be gorgeous at thirty, charming at forty, and irresistible for the rest of your life.
I consider lace to be one of the prettiest imitations ever made of the fantasy of nature; lace always evokes for me those incomparable designs which the branches and leaves of trees embroider across the sky, and I do not think that any invention of the human spirit could have a more graceful or precise origin.
J'aime la vie! I feel that to live is a wonderful thing.
The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.
True elegance consists not in having a closet bursting with clothes, but rather in having a few well-chosen numbers in which one feels totally at ease.
Success is often achieved by those who don't know that failure is inevitable.
Keep your heels, head & standards high!
As I now feel, I would wish to be borne off anywhere out of this world.
Don't spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door.
I am not young but I feel young. The day I feel old, I will go to bed and stay there. J'aime la vie! I feel that to live is a wonderful thing.
