“A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life.”

“I wanted to give a woman comfortable clothes that would flow with her body. A woman is closest to being naked when she is well-dressed.”

“A woman who doesn't wear perfume has no future.”

“Men always remember a woman who caused them concern and uneasiness.”

“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.”

“Look for the woman in the dress. If there is no woman, there is no dress.”

“There is no time for cut-and-dried monotony. There is time for work. And time for love. That leaves no other time.”
