The wit and wisdom of Karl Lagerfeld: his best quotes
- On himself -
"I am very much down to earth. Just not this earth."
- On pyjamas -
"Everybody should go to bed dressed like they have a date at the door."
- On fashion show 'highs' -
"I'm a kind of fashion nymphomaniac who never gets an orgasm."
- On intellectuals -
"I hate intellectual conversation with intellectuals because I only care about my opinion."
- On selfies -
"Electronic masturbation."
- On his sunglasses -
"They are my burka... I'm a little shortsighted, and people, when they're shortsighted, they remove their glasses and then they look like cute little dogs who want to be adopted."
- On vanity -
"Vanity is the healthiest thing in life."
- On learning languages -
"Anyone who is not at least trilingual is a hick."
- On Andy Warhol -
"I shouldn't say this, but physically he was quite repulsive."
- On short men -
"I have a terrible loathing of ugly short men... women can be short but for men it is impossible. It is something that they will never forgive in life... they are mean and they want to kill you."
- On Chanel -
"What I do Coco would have hated. The label has an image and it's up to me to update it. I do what she never did. I had to go from what Chanel was to what it should be, could be, what it had been to something else."
- On his secret -
"I am a sort of vampire, taking the blood of other people."
- On children -
"Having adult children makes you look 100 years old. I don't want that."
- On love -
"The only love I really believe in is a mother's love for her children."
- On the oldest profession -
"I'm rather pro-prostitution. I admire people who do it. It can't be much fun. Thank goodness for it. People need relief or they become murderers. Frustration is the mother of crime, and so there would be much more crime without prostitutes and without porn movies."
- On the aesthetically challenged -
"I hate ugly people. They are very depressing."
- On Russian men -
"If I was a Russian woman I would be lesbian. Russian men are not good looking."

"When I was 14, I wanted to smoke because I wanted to look grown-up. But my mother said: 'You shouldn't smoke. Your hands are not that beautiful and that shows when you smoke.'"
- On hats -
"My mother used to say, 'You shouldn't wear hats. You look like an old dyke.' Do you say such things to children? She was quite funny, no?"
- On sports clothing -
"Whoever wears running pants has lost control over his life."
- On being a legend -
"A sense of humour and a little lack of respect: that's what you need to make a legend survive."
- On overworking -
"We cannot talk about suffering. People buy dresses to be happy, not to hear about somebody who suffered over a piece of taffeta."
- On mobile phones -
"I send notes. I'm not a chambermaid whom you can ring at every moment. Today, you know, most people act like they work at a switchboard in a hotel."
- On creating -
"I have a sort of Alzheimer's for my own work, which I think is a very good thing. Today too many people remember what they did -- just forget it all and start again."

- Have fun going hungry w/that silly line of thinking... and if it took you 10 years to learn something you're either a doctor or a moron.PonyBoy
- The line of thinking still has merit. Becoming an educated, skilled experienced, efficient designer takes a lot of time. A decade makes sense.monospaced
- Nobody owes you a thing for the work you put in to create the person you are. That's your equity spent on you—for you. This is nothing more than whining.PonyBoy
- If anything, lil davy owes Mom & Dad 10+ years back rent and me 10 seconds of my time back.PonyBoy
- haha, I just mean that a seasoned professional is worth way more than an amateur any day, and they should charge accordingly instead of whiningmonospaced
- well duh its simply supply and demand. he can demand any price but if no clients he might get bored. Or get one person who pays it that covers the downtime.deathboy
- but probably better to fill the all the time at a specific rate and raise rates based on demand. typical economics which I believe are fundametally moredeathboy
- successful. other stuff in markets to is if you price low than you are thought of as not as good. the apple overprice game.deathboy
- for me personally everyone i know says i'm under priced for xp/work. but im not about making big money. I only work on reference basedeathboy
- and im still growing clients and only a few weeks out on work. All the clients I like and choose to work with. and my approach is do good work, build relationsdeathboy
- and the rest will follow and I'll raise rates based on schedule work/life flows. I have no problem offering lesser rate for work i want and higher for somethingdeathboy
- less inclined to deal with. Only thing i question sometimes is scale. Would I want to hire vs solo... Still on the fence about thatdeathboy

- I can have an opinion. Just like you. I’m just glad I’m don’t stoop to your level.monospaced
- But the point is not that things change. That's not the deep insight. Read again and think a lil more. ;-)Krassy

A section of Alias/Doseone - rattle the cage
I make, not pretend
Some shit not fit
For social media
Or hitting 'send'
This brave new world
Does obtusely use the term 'friend'
I'm wary of this
Capitalist pigs
Not meaning what I say
Add no meaning to my live
Life dig night away
To decorate your grave all day
I worry for our world
In a worst of a way
That is to say
I bet polar ice caps taste like chicken
And I will go to work, hmm, and/or prison
At all cost make a labor of living
Victim to victim
Some futures elude prediction
'Cause they are exactly like the present
And therein lies a lesson weapon:
When your cell is both in and outside
It should be no surprise
You will soon define freedom by your confineThe line that gets me the most is
"Life dig night away
To decorate your grave all day"This is my only social platform. And I've heard of post mortem social accounts. But i never thought of the life of people living falsely focused on staging social accounts as active death grave decor. And in working on framing their tomb do they realize they are missing out on the only stuff that matters.
Probably a small detail to give too much thought to but it caught my attention. Either way the all the word play is great and quote worthy.

- what what? She posits bad luck is seen as bad character... so no one sees badluck...i agree poverty is not a crime but for sure its a character flawdeathboy
- i wouldn't choose to stigmatize either. let life decide who lives. hell those struggling most to live need to be judged considering their means will largelydeathboy
- be against the status quo, usually theft, killing, or any means necessary to survive. those with possessions should they be judged evil and worth killing?deathboy
- neither side is evil or wrong in my book. and no side need to be taken or thought of as a moral imperative social issue. to do so is to errordeathboy
- Is being born into poverty a character flaw? Being buried in debt for medical expenses? Being subject to all the austerity measures?i_monk
- no on all account imonk. but neither is being born rich, having no medical debt, and not subjected to austerity.deathboy
- say treat equally, think maybe you misunderstood me on poverty as character flaw. not all poverty is of its own making. but a majority is. character flaws indeathboy
- chasing worhtless value. even rich to poor house. when people do that they dont get a free pass and liek oh your a victim and not your fault. oh no its completedeathboy
- ly due to your actions and chasing values that youheld in regard which didnt payoff. however holding values and being poor can also make perfect sense. look atdeathboy
- diogenes. his values were exact and poor was what happened but wasnt the objective. at all. dont stigmatize any and judge case by case. seems pretty rationaldeathboy
- right?deathboy
- Word salad to justify the status quo and hold fast to the delusion that the majority of poor people somehow chose to be poor.i_monk
