Valerie Azlynn
There's something really cool about TV. TV, you get the luxury of having the same people around. It is such a blessing when you get a TV job.

Louise Brown
Reading is my greatest luxury.

Michael Caine
The greatest luxury is not driving. I didn't own a car until I was 30, and that was a Rolls-Royce, so it was cheaper to insure a chauffeur. I never want to drive again. My mind is always on other things. I hate parking, and I'm very short-tempered and would get road rage, I'm sure.
8
Coco Chanel
Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury.
9
Peter Diamandis
When I think about creating abundance, it's not about creating a life of luxury for everybody on this planet; it's about creating a life of possibility. It is about taking that which was scarce and making it abundant.
10
Edsger Dijkstra
Elegance is not a dispensable luxury but a factor that decides between success and failure.
