—Coco Chanel (1883–1971)
“One must be a living man and a posthumous artist.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
“How much we forgive to those who yield us the rare spectacle of heroic manners! We will pardon them the want of books, or arts, and even of gentler virtues. How tenaciously we remember them!”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
