I have understood that the most important things are tenderness and kindness. I can't do without them.

I gave my beauty and my youth to men. I am going to give my wisdom and experience to animals.

I have been very happy, very rich, very beautiful, much adulated, very famous and very unhappy.

Fashion may not be a weapon of the woman but at least it gives her the ammunition.

When I love, I do it without counting. I give myself entirely. And each time, it is the grand love of my life.

Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it.

A photograph can be an instant of life captured for eternity that will never cease looking back at you.

What could be more beautiful than a dear old lady growing wise with age? Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it.

If I could do anything about the way people behave towards each other, I would, but since I can't, I'll stick to animals.

I can't do the same thing every night, the same gestures... it's like putting on dirty panties every day.

Tear your heart out of your chest. And hand it to God. There is no other healing. I swear, there is no other healing.

Is this what family is like: the feeling that everyone’s connected, that with one piece missing, the whole thing’s broken?

I suppose every innovation started out as a fantasy.

Wealth of good manners is what no one can steal from you. You can keep it with you wherever you go.

To say I'll make your dreams come true would be wrong, but maybe, darling, I could help them along.

Healing requires taking action-it is not a passive event.

I'm retiring because my time is up.

Crushing defeat for Great Britain #Euref. History will show no one won today.

Whatever helps to shape the human being - to make the individual what he is, or hinder him from being what he is not - is part of his education.

Never saw the branch you are sittin on, unless they are trying to hang you from it.
