I've been inspired by CoCo lately...
"In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different." - CoCo Chanel
"A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous" - CoCo Chanel
"The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud." - CoCo Chanel
"Success is often achieved by those who don't know that failure is inevitable." - CoCo Chanel
"How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone." - CoCo Chanel
"Don't spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door." - CoCo Chanel
"There goes a woman who knows all of the things that can be taught, and none of the things that cannot be taught!" - CoCo Chanel
And a very random bit:
" 'Here's harmony!' said she; 'here's repose! Here's what may leave all painting and all music behind, and what poetry only can attempt to describe! Here's what may tranquillise every care, and lift the heart to rapture! When I look out on such a night as this, I feel as if there could be neither wickedness nor sorrow in the world; and there certainly would be less of both if the sublimity of Nature were more attended to, and people were carried more out of themselves by contemplating such a scene.' " - Jane Austen's Mansfield Park
That's the line that made me feel very connected to the heroine, Fanny Price, as it's really something I've always considered, but never been able to put into words.
