“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.”

“Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman.”

“Capel said, "Remember that you're a woman." All too often I forgot that.”

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

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

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