I'm doing a project for my english/history class and we have to pick a quote from a piece of literature or a famous historical figure. I think that Coco Chanel is a famous historical figure but I don't know if other people think that to, so do you consider her a famous historical figure?
The quote must come from a book, novel or poem D:

Answer
Last Sunday's NY Times reviewed a new book (Sleeping with the Enemy by Hal Vaughan) on her. You might find something in this link:

P.S. The review contains a link to a two page excerpt.
