When I was a child I asked my mother what homosexuality was about and she said – and this was 100 years ago in Germany and she was very open-minded – Its like hair color. Its nothing. Some people are blond and some people have dark hair. Its not a subject. This was a very healthy attitude. – Karl Lagerfeld
You have to like the present if not your life becomes secondhand, if you think it was better before. Or that it will be better in the future. – Karl Lagerfeld
Books are a hard-bound drug with no danger of an overdose. I am the happy victim of books. – Karl Lagerfeld
I never had to learn English, French and German because I was brought up as all three languages. I had a private French teacher before I even went to school. That helped a lot. – Karl Lagerfeld
Wish on everything. Pink cars are good, especially old ones. And stars of course, first stars and shooting stars. Planes will do if they are the first light in the sky and look like stars. Wish in tunnels, holding your breath and lifting your feet off the ground. Birthday candles. Baby teeth. – Francesca Lia Block
