Luxury Quotations
There is a luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves we feel no one else has a right to blame us.
Oscar Wilde
Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury.
Coco Chanel
Some people think luxury is the opposite of poverty. It is not. It is the opposite of vulgarity.
Coco Chanel
I think the idea of mixing luxury and mass-market fashion is very modern - wearing head-to-toe designer has become a bit passe. It's a new era in fashion - there are no rules. It's all about the individual and personal style, wearing high-end, low-end, classic labels, and up-and-coming designers all together.
Alexander McQueen
The saddest thing I can imagine is to get used to luxury.
Charlie Chaplin
One must be poor to know the luxury of giving!
George Eliot

By rendering the labor of one, the property of the other, they cherish pride, luxury, and vanity on one side; on the other, vice and servility, or hatred and revolt.
