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.

I’ve been in business without being a businesswoman, I’ve loved without being a woman made only for love.

I’ve done my best, in regard to people and to life, without precepts, but with a taste for justice. ~Coco Chanel
