Coco Chanel – Movie Quotes

You know, you only have a date with destiny tonight, my dear, and you must be prepared to be dressed as pretty as possible.

So if you want to leave now... eventually I will forget you, as you will me.

Now... Adornment... what a science. Beauty... what a weapon.

A woman can be overdressed, but never over-elegant.

Risk... is what life is all about.

There's not a woman in the world... who doesn't get up in the morning... every morning... looks at herself in the mirror... and tries to decide what to wear.

Thus, fashion is at the same time be caterpillar and butterfly on the night. The dress should both crawl to fly. That will be good. The butterfly is not a market. The caterpillar does not go to a party. Ah!

If you spent all this money... for the dress... shouldn't you be happy with it?

— I was worried you'd disappeared for good.
— That's what I wanted to do.
— I couldn't sleep at night. You made me suffer.
— I wanted that too.
— You can be very cruel.
— Like anyone who's in love.

A failed innovation is painful. A revival of it is sinister.
