“To live content with small means.

To seek elegance rather than luxury,
and refinement rather than fashion.

To be worthy not respectable,
and wealthy not rich.

To study hard, think quietly, talk gently,
act frankly, to listen to stars, birds, babes,
and sages with open heart, to bear all
cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions,
hurry never.

In a word, to let the spiritual,
unbidden and unconscious,
grow up through the common.

This is to be my symphony.”
William Henry Channing

Coco Chanel
“Adornment, what a science! Beauty, what a weapon! Modesty, what elegance!”
Coco Chanel

Kelly Creagh
“Don't let the elegance act fool you," Varen said, drawing out his notepad. "She farts.”
Kelly Creagh, Nevermore

“Ladies should also remember that gentlemen look more to the effect of a dress in setting off the figure and countenance of a lady than to its cost. Very few gentlemen have any idea the value of ladies' dresses. This is a subject for female criticism. Beauty of person and elegance of manners in women will always command more admiration from the opposite sex than beauty, elegance or costliness of clothing."
The Scholars' Companion and Ball Room Vade Mecum
Thomas Hillgrove, 1857”

Coco Chanel
“Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance.”
Coco Chanel
