Coco Chanel and Romy Schneider
• "Where should one use perfume? A young woman asked. Wherever one wants to be kissed".
• "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".
