Coco Chanel is famous for her timeless and simplistic designs, including the iconic little black dress and Chanel No 5 perfume. This iconic French fashion designer had plenty to say about life. Here are eight inspirational Coco Chanel quotes.
- “If you were born without wings, do nothing to prevent them from growing.” Chanel's mother died and her father sent her to a convent as a child. She was born into a life of poverty, so she had to do all she could to grow her wings.
- “My life didn’t please me, so I created my life.” Chanel proved that regardless of where you come from in life, you always have the chance to improve your destiny.
- “In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.” To be invaluable you must create your path by forging ahead and always being open to new ideas.
- “How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone.” When you are true to yourself, you live life on purpose and are no longer just a part of the crowd.
- “Since everything is in our heads, we had better not lose them.” Chanel rarely lost her cool even though she faced her fair share of trials and failures.
- “A woman has the age she deserves.” Chanel was correct that we have the age we deserve, and we have earned the age we have. If you are happy, your natural radiance will shine through, and age won’t matter.
- “Don’t spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door.” If you continue to do the same thing that is unsuccessful, don't expect different results. Move on, change or try another approach, because there always is another way.
- “Look for the woman in the dress. If there is no woman, there is no dress.” A beautiful woman is not the one wearing the most elaborate or expensive dress. She is the one who makes the dress work for her.
