I am leaving the town to the invaders: increasingly numerous, mediocre, dirty, badly behaved, shameless tourists.

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.

I'm a girl from a good family who was very well brought up. One day I turned my back on it all and became a bohemian.

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.

All things found their ends.

Every day of the year where the water is 76, day and night, and the waves roll high, I take my sled, without runners, and coast down the face of the big waves that roll in at Waikiki.

MOTHER (a word that means the world to me)

The etiquette is higher consciousness, sensitivity, gentleness, gracefulness, intensity, power, and knowledge.

You go to a show and you know the crowd is there because they like the music, not because everybody else was going. That's a good feeling. You look out there and you know, these are our people.

Everywhere the fatal spirit of imitation, of reference to European standards, penetrates and threatens to blight whatever of original growth might adorn the soil.

It is not enough to show people how to live better; there is a mandate for any group with enormous powers of communication to show people how to be better.

Angels are not merely forms of extraterrestrial intelligence. They are forms of extra-cosmic intelligence.

We are still struggling with people who don't feel comfortable going into museums. As a visual artist I ask how artists can be part of enacting a change.

The whole story of human history is: The blasphemy of today is the commonplace of tomorrow.
