Wisdom Quote by Karl Lagerfeld — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“We need houses as we need clothes, architecture stimulates fashion. It’s like hunger and thirst — you need them both.”

“I’m very much down to earth, just not this earth.”

“Clear thinking at the wrong moment can stifle creativity.”

“People who say that yesterday was better than today are ultimately devaluing their own existence.”

“Sweatpants are a sign of defeat. You lost control of your life so you bought some sweatpants.”

“Don’t sacrifice yourself too much, because if you sacrifice too much there’s nothing else you can give and nobody will care for you.”

“The only man who never makes mistakes is the man who never does anything.”

“Real greatness does not reside inside those who feel large. The truly wise are meek.”

“The present has no mercy for self-pity.”

“Throughout the day, make a conscious effort to follow your highest leadings, whatever feels most alive, exciting, or natural in each moment. You are looking for the thread of synchronicity and allowing it to guide you from one thing to the next.”

“At the time of Lewis and Clark, setting the prairies on fire was a well-known signal that meant, ‘Come down to the water.’ It was an extravagant gesture, but we can’t do less. If the landscape reveals one certainty, it is that the extravagant gesture is the very stuff of creation. After the extravagant gesture of creation in the first place, the universe has continued to deal exclusively in extravagances, flinging intricacies and colossi down aeons of emptiness, heaping profusions on profligacies with ever fresh vigor. The whole show has been on fire from the word go. I come down to the water to cool my eyes. But everywhere I look, I see fire: that which isn’t flint is tinder, and the whole world sparks and flames.”
