Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.
What a deformed thief this fashion is.
I’m not that interested in fashion… When someone says that lime-green is the new black for this season, you just want to tell them to get a life.
Fashion, as we knew it, is over; people wear now exactly what they feel like wearing.
In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock.
Fashion is very important. It is life enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well.
The fear of becoming a ‘has-been’ keeps some people from becoming anything.
Who can live without some black clothes.
The best thing is to look natural, but it takes makeup to look natural.
Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury.
Know first who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.
Fashion is never in crisis because clothes are always necessary.
The fashion wears out more apparel than the man.
The difference between style and fashion is quality.
Fashion is treated too much as news rather than what it is, what it does and how it performs.
Style is a reflection of your attitude and your personality.
History is the key to everything: politics, religion, even fashion.

Pizza
We live in an age when pizza gets to your home before the police.
Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is Pepsi. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza.
The perfect lover is one who turns into a pizza at 4:00 a.m.
When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore.
I love vegging out in front of the TV, eating pizza!
My idea of feng shui is to have them arrange the pepperoni in a circle on my pizza.
You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I'm not hungry enough to eat six.

Ignorance
The greatest ignorance is to reject something you know nothing about.
If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.
There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action.
The recipe for perpetual ignorance is: Be satisfied with your opinions and content with your knowledge.
Nothing in the world is more dangerous than a sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.
There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.
Sometimes ignorance is innocence - stupidity comes with experience.
Most ignorance is vincible ignorance. We don't know because we don't want to know.
The two pillars of 'political correctness' are:
a) willful ignorance
b) a steadfast refusal to face the truth

Luck
Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.
I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.
If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform one million realities.
I've been lucky. I'll be lucky again.
Luck affects everything; let your hook always be cast; in the stream where you least expect it, there will be a fish.
Luck has a peculiar habit of favoring those who don't depend on it.
Success is simply a matter of luck. Ask any failure.
Nature creates ability; luck provides it with opportunity.
Luck never made a man wise.
The only sure thing about luck is that it will change.

Poison
Never take the antidote before the poison.
Resentment is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die.
I would much prefer to suffer from the clean incision of an honest lancet than from a sweetened poison.
Good humor is the health of the soul, sadness its poison.
Even bees, the little almsmen of spring bowers, know there is richest juice in poison-flowers.
Jealous people poison their own banquet and then eat it.
Anger repressed can poison a relationship as surely as the cruelest words.
Let a man avoid evil deeds as a man who loves life avoids poison.
Lady Nancy Astor: Winston, if you were my husband, I'd poison your tea.
Churchill: Nancy, if I were your husband, I'd drink it.

London
This is a London particular . . . A fog, miss.
Nothing is certain in London but expense.
The more people one knows the easier it becomes to replace them. It's one of the curses of London.
I do not think there is anything deserving the name of society to be found out of London.
This melancholy London- I sometimes imagine that the souls of the lost are compelled to walk through its streets perpetually. One feels them passing like a whiff of air.
I give you Chicago. It is not London and Harvard. It is not Paris and buttermilk. It is American in every chitling and sparerib. It is alive from snout to tail.
A broken heart is a very pleasant complaint for a man in London if he has a comfortable income.
Flowers are as common in the country as people are in London.
You will recognize, the first sign of age: it is when you go out into the streets of London and realize for the first time how young the policemen look.
In Paris, you learn wit, in London you learn to crush your social rivals, and in Florence you learn poise.
I left it because the weather is too good. I hate London when it's not raining.
Nobody is healthy in London, nobody can be.
By seeing London, I have seen as much of life as the world can show.
Crowds without company, and dissipation without pleasure.

Don't know
I don't know, I don't care, and it doesn't make any difference!
I like to reminisce with people I don't know.
You've achieved success in your field when you don't know whether what you're doing is work or play.
I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.
If life is just a stage, then we are all running around ad-libbing, with absolutely no clue what the plot is. Maybe that's why we don't know whether it's a comedy or tragedy.
I was gratified to be able to answer promptly. I said, "I don't know".
We all have possibilities we don't know about. We can do things we don't even dream we can do.
We're all lonely for something we don't know we're lonely for.
I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I don't know the answer.
Science is what you know, philosophy is what you don't know.
My experience is that as soon as people are old enough to know better, they don't know anything at all.
1)I admit it, you are better than I am. 2)Then why are you smiling? 1)Because I know something you don't know. 2)And what is that? 1)I am not left handed.
