“The Germans and I no longer speak the same language.”

Superstitions are habits rather than beliefs.

The average man is more interested in a woman who is interested in him than he is in a woman with beautiful legs.

They want you to bring out your intestines.

There’s something about an American soldier you can’t explain. They’re so grateful for anything, even a film actress coming to see them.

Without tenderness, a man is uninteresting.

Grumbling is the death of love.

I am at heart a gentleman.

I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognized wiser than oneself.

Darling, the legs aren’t so beautiful, I just know what to do with them.

Latins are tenderly enthusiastic. In Brazil they throw flowers at you. In Argentina they throw themselves.

I’m worth more dead than alive. Don’t cry for me after I’m gone; cry for me now.

When you’re dead, you’re dead. That’s it.

America took me into her bosom when there was no longer a country worthy of the name, but in my heart I am German – German in my soul.

Glamour is what I sell, it’s my stock in trade.

A man would prefer to come home to an unmade bed and a happy woman than to a neatly made bed and an angry woman.

I dress for the image. Not for myself, not for the public, not for fashion, not for men.

I love rearranging words and destroying language and the established forms of art and music/challenging the reasoning of others.

I made up the term “object-oriented,” and I can tell you I did not have C++ in mind.

That language was Joss, which predated Basic and was beautiful.

I don’t know that I would have the courage to come over to a new country where the religion is different, the language is different, where I don’t have any money.

Music is, of course, a universal emotional experience, cutting across cultures and languages. I studied piano for ten years as a child and consider that experience one of the most valuable in my life.

The greatest single programming language ever designed

Basic would never have surfaced because there was always a language better than Basic for that purpose.

Back home everyone said I didn’t have any talent. They might be saying the same thing over here, but it sounds better in French.
